Don't gamble when depressed

[coin-investor]

Emotional instability caused by depression can lead to a whole lot of regretful actions. Gambling when you are having mixed emotions can cloud your judgment and also affect the decisions you make.

On the contrary, I can gamble, and sometimes I do when I'm depressed; the adrenaline rush pushes out the depression I'm feeling.
But I need to understand that I'm gambling not for money and only to forget what causes my depression. I agree that if you are gambling for money and you are depressed, that's the easiest way to lose your money, as it will cloud your judgement trying to win. Casinos are entertainment portals. If you are stressed, challenge yourself in a crash game and see the adrenaline rush that will make you forget your stress.

If you want to play gambling you must need to make sure that yourself is already ready with the things might happen, if play gambling that you are not have a self conscious possible you might commit a decision that you might gives you a regret because its just a one mistake that can ruin your life. Depression is a serious matter tons of people have a problem with that and we need to acknowledge so if you know someone has it better to stay away them here because its gambling there's a money involve and tons of people sees the gambler as entertainment and a figure of fun but this might gives them an addiction as part of their coping mechanism to their depression and gives more risk into them.

well if you ask me about the perfect time to gamble, i can't really tell because most people will say they prefer gambling when they are depressed to ease their stress, and others don't like gambling when they are depressed, which is vise versa as the case may be. i will say each an every individual that gambles know the exact time that suits them. if you don't like gambling during depression then others will like it. for me i gamble at my free time .

Gambling is stressful in most cases and it’s very hard to avoid that even if you are just having fun since any lose bet can give you mini stress that stacks as the losing streak line up badly.

I’m against on gambling when we are not emotional ready since gambling is a form of entertainment that has a side effect that can increase the depression if you experience worst on your casino games.

Gambling is perfect activity if you are just killing time or want to have fun because you are in the good mood.

For those who had been saying that gambling is really just that something that good for fun but we cant be able to deny that losing money is really that stressful and there's no way that you can be able to make yourself to enjoy when you are on a losing state and even if you are telling that you are doing gambling for fun but on the moment that you are on such condition then it will be that on different situation or condition that you are into. There's no way that you can be able to avoid on not to get stressed even on how experienced your are. Losing money is never been that enjoyable or entertaining and this is why on the time that you are on the verge of series of loses then you will be definitely becoming that impulsive.It is really just that normal since we are just humans and we do love money and once we do lose money then we do lose up that cool and emotion control. If you are stressed then gambling isnt the only way If you wanted to ease out that kind of stress then you can have other options like going to mall, doing shopping, doing some sports you do love or any other hobbies on which you do really wanted or something that you do interested into. Dont make gambling to be that thing that easing out that kind of stress because on the moment that you do lose money, then it might that making things even more worst and the bad thing is that you do end up on having some impulsive approach on which you might be ending up on spending up even more and losing even more and  that will be adding up in your overall stress and might be leading up into more serious emotional damage.

Don't engage in gambling when you are depressed, if you are looking for a distraction try to do something productive instead.

If I am not mistakenly had seen people talks about gambling to whine away their sorrow like if they gambles they feels more happy and forget about what they have faced for days or the stressful moment they had their offices. The major thing Is that people with the way they positioned their minds towards gambling as some people may see gamble as something to forget about their angers and bitterness.
The worse the depression that can control your emotions while gambling is when you are losing, this control your overall thinking and reasoning towards every action you takes while gambling.

The thing is that, when gambling we have to choose why we a gambling at first, wether we gamble to have fun and cure depression or gambling to make money out of it, because both have same applications in gambling, we can gamble to cure depression but at that point, we shouldn't aim at winning, but just to have fun, and other days we may choose to gamble to make additional money so that time we aim at winning and for that we have to be emotionally stable enough to make the right decision while gambling to make the money unlike fun where you just engage the games just to have fun.

As a gambler it's important to know how to control your emotions and discipline yourself, not just in the aspect of gambling but in every other area of life. Emotional instability caused by depression can lead to a whole lot of regretful actions. Gambling when you are having mixed emotions can cloud your judgment and also affect the decisions you make, at that point you wouldn't mind if you are losing and you can keep going till you have nothing left all under the excuse of chasing your losses. I have had some experiences where I decided to gamble when I was emotionally down and I regretted my actions. Some cases are actually a psychological issue where gamblers knowingly try to make themselves sad by ruining their financial life consciously, this is rare but it happens. Don't engage in gambling when you are depressed, if you are looking for a distraction try to do something productive instead.

It is true and I believe that when you gamble during depression you get emotional and it becomes very difficult to control yourself. When someone is not depressed, money management works in him and when money management is not working in him, no matter how rich he is, he will not be able to hold on to his wealth. Many people gambled during their depression and drunkenness and then they made huge losses. A gambler must always take care of these things if he does not want to suffer financially

[Su-asa]

Gambling when down/sad will make you lose more because any decisions you make that moment is based on your emotions.

If noticed you you are gambling excessively you seek for gamble advise before becomes to late.

Whether it is with gambling or any other things, don't do thing when you are at this state of being depressed. It will only result to trouble. Believe me, there's nothing good that will come out of it when you are out of your mind. So, it's much of a damage in gambling if someone is going to gamble at this state and likes to throw and burn money easily. Many cases are like that and many have foreseen how it goes when they're carefree and doesn't think correctly before they gamble. It feels that it's an actual gamble to them when they're already gambling with their money, it's an idiom.

When a person is depressed, he can decide to engage in any activity to lift his spirit and brighten his mood. I don't think gambling should be excluded from the list of those things one can do to be happy, as long as he would be gambling with a conscious mind and with a sense of responsibility. I only advocate that people do not gamble when they are drunk or in a very foul mood that would trigger them to make some decisions they would regret later.

People are different, so also what they are capable of. Anyone who makes impulsive decisions when depressed should not gamble. Those who can handle their emotions have no issues with gambling during this period.

Not to everyone, some people gamble better when they are depressed. Our emotions might have nothing to do with how we gamble, how and when we gamble can even become what to cheer us out from certain depression. Depressions at different level, majorly stress can be treated while gambling but financially dealing with depression becomes very wrong to gamble in such a state, the mind will be controlled by excessive want of profits and the gambler may not know how to control his emotions causing a more severe loss.

Drunkenness' is a whole different level, the gambler is totally not in control of his mind, what ever he does at that moment isn't important, everything he does are not coming from right senses and are unthoughtful, anyone high on any substance should avoid any activity that requires spending money.

[aioc]

And why not its a coping mechanism? There's a saying we should gamble for fun and to be entertained, and casinos promote themselves as an entertainment platform, so its ok to gamble when you're depressed, stressed, or feel lonely as long as you are not trying to make money while gambling in depression and you're motivation is to ease up the depression you are feeling. Depression can be replaced by another feeling if we fully emerge from it.

[Marykeller]

Anyone doing anything whenever they are depressed usually isn't in the right state of mind at that point because they will be blinded by their emotions to make decisions in a hurry without analyzing it properly whether it will favor them or not. That's the reason, why people are told not to do anything at the point when they are depressed, they should be allowed their bad mood to slide before doing anything.

Gambling when depressed doesn't usually lead to losses because you as a gambler will be after your losses, and your finances keep getting low and low without having money to save.

[l99l]

Many games require focus, where to stand, the order of moves, in short, if you want to play a good game, you must be focused.
Since losing is not fun, it would be the best decision to avoid gambling or playing games during such tired or emotionally problematic periods.
I have experienced it a few times, I gambled when I was in a bad mood and my emotions got worse afterwards, so I conditioned myself to stay away from such an emotional moment, I am careful not to do it.

So, in what state should you gamble? In a neutral state? With cold calculation? But then it won't be entertainment anymore? It will become a kind of work: a continuous routine with only one goal to increase your deposit. After all, some gamblers play for the sake of enjoying the process, but what kind of fun can there be if you have to play focused and calculated. Of course, emotions will be unnecessary in achieving the goal (profit in gambling), but if you play to distract yourself from negative thoughts, can it be so bad? It seems to me that any activity can be "good" if you devote only some time to it (not full time) and only part of your deposit, as in the case of gambling. So the conclusion suggests itself that even with depression, you can devote a little time (and money) to gambling. You just don't need to have high expectations for the jackpot, but play for the sake of the process and fun. Because gambling is not only about losses, but also about wins, which can give positive emotions when this is not enough (during depression). The main thing is to set yourself a time limit and a deposit (for losing or winning).

Some people might think otherwise. When people see gambling as a source of entertainment it could be a mains to come out of depression. Some people might consume alcohol, watch sports games or even take a long work to overcome depression.

The only dangers of using gambling as an escape from the feeling of depression are over-gambling or losing chasing. Losing more than one can afford to bear might increase the depression. One might become more angry after a big loss. As long as the gambler can control his emotions and finances, gambling when depressed is recommended. At least it is better than consuming excessive alcohol, being violent or even considering suicide when depressed.

Seeing your experience is indeed not a good thing for our development in gambling, choosing to gamble when we are having problems will make what we do become something bad or have bad output, let alone talking about gambling which easily provokes our emotions or psychology, doing work can also result in poor performance when we are depressed, therefore, do not gamble at all when our condition has problems, whatever it is that makes us depressed, it is better to calm down first because that is the most effective solution than doing something that has a very large possibility of bad output.

It sounds very strange to me that people will prefer to gamble just to ease depression or forget about a troubling situation they might have found themselves because it's almost similar to someone who drinks alcohol to stupor just because they want to ease their stress or forget about an ugly condition because it will instead worsten the situation than proffer solutions. How can someone even think of using gambling as an escape from anger or depression when they know that in the quest of staking bets, they can be unlucky and lose a lot of money such that when they realize who much they have lost already, it can even send them to more depressed state. No matter how you tend to position your mindset on what will ease tension in you while depressed, gambling at that material time should not be used as an escape route.

Don't gamble when you are depressed. Don't gamble when you are sad. Don't gamble when you are happy. Whenever you are experiencing very high or very low emotions, do not gamble. The emotions may be possible or negative.
 

Then when should one gamble, under moderate emotions? What can be called moderate emotions, when one is not too happy and not too sad at the same time, is that what you actually mean?

Anyways, it's important to know yourself and what makes you think about gambling when some certain emotions rise in you, some people picks up their funds and deposit it into their betting account whenever they are bored, alone and get themselves busy predicting. Boredom is a situations that get you to start thinking and doing about what you are addicted to, that's why it's always best to distract yourself from boredom because you can start doing whatever you were running away from.

How about the concept considers gambling for fun and entertainment i think we have been discuss about this plenty although this is not generally but for some people by doing a gamble it can makes their level of depression decreases so usually these people are not aiming to win from gambling because what they want are enjoyed their gambling activities so losing a few dollars in gambling is fine for these people as long as they can forget about their problems when gambling

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

I can gamble at anytime at any condition so far I do not go against my gambling responsible habits. I have gambled when I was happy several times in the past and I lost money. Sometimes making me to chase losses and I continue to lose. If I feel like gambling and I am not happy, I will gamble so far I continue to gamble responsibly. But if I am depressed, gambling can not come my mind that time. But if I feel like gambling, I will gamble.

On the contrary, it doesn't mean you won't lose your money if you gamble while been happy, or neither not win if you gamble while you are depressed and lucky enough to hit a jackpot, but what  O.P and we are trying to point out here is the chance of you been carried away while gambling in a depressed state is very high, of which we all know there are 3 distinctive moments a person can easily get carried away while engaging in any activity, such as when you are drunk, Over happy or depressed, since in that state, your level of dopamine, (i.e a feel good hormones) responsible for the creation and transmission of a sense of pleasure and satisfaction to the brain. Because anybody can get lucky anytime, it doesn't matter of you are happy or not.

It might decrease your depression if you keep winning in any fun games, but if you keep losing without winning, it might spike your depression higher. That is not a good solution for depression.

However, like your said it still depends on what game you play, and if you are not alone playing the game, sometimes you can enjoy the game without the taste of winning. If you play with your friends or close family, it may help to minimize your depression because what you need in this situation is someone with a good listener to your problem or the reason you became depressed. Discussing with someone while gambling will help minimize your depressions.
