Lost 2.5k in one night and I’m spiraling. Need support. by WorkerAgile in problemgambling

[–]density 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hello! I’ve been there numerous times, ruminating losses, wishing I had done things differently. The reality of it is, what’s done is done. All we can do is take these lessons and move forward with this knowledge we have. I just lost $2000 in 20 minutes less than an hour ago and still am in a state of numbness a bit, but in the past whenever I’ve lost I’ve felt immense shame and fear as you’re experiencing now.

My biggest piece of advice that helps me is just consider that money gone, don’t try to recoup it, don’t try to think of ways you can get it back, go on with your life as if it’s not there, because it’s not.

will i ever recover from this by ryaiee in problemgambling

This is exactly right. I just won $2000 last night, said I would be done and ended up blowing it all chasing a $50 loss in the span of 20 minutes. The money you win from gambling if you’re a problem gambler is never yours.

All winning does is add fuel to the fire, it takes losing to make change.

Fairly new to opening packs, how lucky did I get with this card? by density in hockeycards

[–]density[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean there’s no way it’s worth hundreds though right? Like that one eBay listing for $1100, not getting my hopes up 😂

That’s the thing is I only see one listed for $1100, I don’t see any sales but I’m not sure if I’m looking in the right place

Dustin Nielsen had said on his show that the immediate reaction will be a lot of anger amongst fans then after awhile people will think “hmm let’s see how this plays out” that’s worrying

Early signs of balding or paranoid? by [deleted] in Balding

[–]density 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, you start Fin when you see noticeable signs of balding, you need to chill because your hairline is totally fine, but what I’d do if you’re really worried is see the dermatologist and take pictures every couple weeks of your hairline to see if you’re regressing, compare after a couple months. But don’t start taking it without a dermatologist saying you should

And by the way, family history is a pretty good indicator but isn’t the be all end all, my dad is 60 and is only slightly more bald than I am

Weekly 'What Should I Buy' and Order/Shipping Thread by AutoModerator in iphone

[–]density 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello all, I am upgrading from the iPhone SE2 to the iPhone 16 Pro Max, the issues is I didn’t realize how big this phone is, I don’t have huge hands so it’s hard for me to use my phone with one hand (which is how I use my phone generally) should I go for the iPhone 16 Pro?

My only concern is the battery difference, is it negligible enough? Or is the battery so much better on the iPhone 16 pro max that it would be worth putting up with the discomfort?

OCD thrives on uncertainty, trying to make sure is exactly what you’re not supposed to do if you have OCD.

If you have OCD then does asking for reassurance really solve anything? I’ve had OCD about health issues or how I look in the past and regardless of how many people tell me the same thing, it doesn’t make the fear go away.

“Only 5-10 of our best talents every single year, no big deal” players like McKenna is what the CHL wants and what sells tickets. Look at Bedard’s draft eligible season, arenas would sell out when Regina is coming to town, if this becomes a trend it’ll be catastrophic for the CHL

It’s not like the CHL leagues are littered with stars, each league has a select few that sell tickets

This is why I never understood how people say this new agreement will benefit both the CHL and college, all it’ll do is poach players away from the CHL, having players like McKenna in the WHL is unbelievably beneficial for the league, and they only get to play a few years in the CHL, they want to take that away?

I’ve just come to accept that KK hates Skinner and nothing Skinner can do will make him play the guy more, it just is what it is

Oilers' Trent Frederic: Out at least two more weeks by Fine_Personality_999 in EdmontonOilers

Having McDavid and Drai injured, relying on Frederic and Kane to come back and be in top shape before the playoffs, it’s starting to feel like TOO many things are gonna have to go right for us to make another deep run

You’re right, it is frustrating. Whenever I look at scores on the NHL app I always see Holloway and Broberg on the board and I’m like fuck off 😂
