Does anxiety have any effects on gambling ?

[livingfree]

People that deal with anxiety are more prone to deal with losses when it comes to gambling...There are lots of reasons why anyone in this category should avoid gambling, the most important one is health issues that might be developed due to anxiety...it's possible to end up having a cardiac arrest when overly anxious, gambling shouldn't be taken too seriously and those that are not mature mentally shouldn't do it

If it's avoidable then a gambler should do that. When we lose, we get more of the dose of anxiety and that adds up to having more problems.

We do the wrong decisions that we think are right and that's why if it's going to be about this impact to ourselves, we know that it's real.

Being a problematic gambler and you're also being the anxiety inside, you'll have to check on yourself first and don't touch your device to gamble. Take time to learn if you can manage it or not.

Are you usually an anxious person? I wonder if being anxious makes you more susceptible to being addicted to gambling or no?..

First of all, you need to decide what makes you feel anxious. If your emotional state of anxiety arises from a possible loss, then you should refrain from playing. But if your anxiety becomes a daily occurrence and is not related to any extreme event, you need to consult a psychologist who will help you determine the cause of your anxiety.

Anxiety cannot be fought with gambling because gambling can cause us much more Anxiety than normal and what we will achieve is that we will complicate things more, that is why we must be smarter and do other things, something that does not generate stress, everything that can produce happiness is Welcome, but if you gamble and do not win the desired happiness will increase, it is better at the time of gambling to do it with little money so as not to risk so much, money is important and it is what makes our lives easier.

Has gambling treated your anxiety or has it made it worse?

Each time I gamble or am gambling, I feel a lot more anxious. There is this burden in me about the final outcome of the game. My anxiety level goes above normal. This is accompanied with a wish positive wish for what am doing, that's the gambling. Ans sincerely, I don't like the feelings. Even when I win, it's a different feeling too different from the normal feeling. The truth is I don't like the pressure gambling places on my mind, and that's why I have reframed from gambling. I occasionally gamble now, yea. To maintain my sanity because the anxiety it creates in me is much. I have not gambled for over 5-6 months now, and am enjoying the feelings. I feel better not gambling

It is important for an individual to know their limit, know their capabilities and also study their self to know what they can be able to handle and what they can not handle. Just as some people can have allergy of some food, drugs or alcohol, that's how they could also be allergic to gambling, so it's important to for someone to identify if gambling activity is good or not good for them. For people that it can be a problem to, that's when they can experience the anxiety but other people can know how to control their self and not have anxiety.

Yes, you're absolutely right. Today I saw a co-worker have an anxiety attack, and that really scared me because I thought she was having a seizure, but no, she was making strange movements, and it was a product of anxiety, If we take that to a casino, a person can suffer an anxiety attack like that and lose a lot of money That's not what we're looking for.

When someone knows that they can easily have anxiety over any situation that doesn't come out as expected or maybe the person easily get emotional about losing something that they don't want to lose, then gambling is not something that the person should consider because they might be thinking that they want to get away from state of mind without knowing that they are still putting their self in that bad situation of anxiety.

 I think that anxious people are much less likely to be drawn to gambling. People of this type are always finding something to worry about

Exactly little things get them worried easily and if what they are being anxious of isn't guarantee it's a problem and usually they always involve themselves in things that are less thrilling moreso gambling and these two entities are chaotic. Gambling and anxiety and that's why it's best to remain gambling responsibly knowing that your anxiety can get a huge effects on you when you don't win.

Anxious people always have something to worry about and fret about, which begs the question, how do they benefit from this anxiety. For example, one might keep worrying about trivial things while avoiding important issues that could actually affect their quality of life I doubt there's any pattern to whether anxious or non-anxious people play more.

Are you usually an anxious person? I wonder if being anxious makes you more susceptible to being addicted to gambling or no?

If you are always worrying, would you not be able to take risks as confidently as others? Won't you just stay in your safe zone and miss out on opportunities that could have given you bigger wins? Or maybe some people tend to forget about their anxiety from gambling because their mind gets so numb playing?

Has gambling treated your anxiety or has it made it worse?

I have social anxiety and gambling has no positive nor negative impact over my anxiety. Online gambling isn't particularly social so I don't have to be facing the issues of visiting a land based casino and having to interact with other gamblers.
I'm a pretty moderate gambler, but I don't think that my anxiety has any influence over my gambling actions. I'm not overconfident and maybe that's why I don't take huge risks. Risk management shouldn't be related to someone's personality. I also don't view gambling as a way to escape from my existential problems. Gambling is just a fun way to spend some time and money. Nobody can escape from his/her existential problems by spending money on the casino.

Has gambling treated your anxiety or has it made it worse?

If gambling costs you more money, it might not cure your anxiety but rather create problems that can lead to even greater anxiety. I've never seen anyone recover from anxiety because of gambling, but we often hear of people experiencing anxiety because they spend money irresponsibly on gambling. Taking risks to consistently make a profit is impossible in gambling, so how can anyone cure anxiety?

It can worsen, yes, but it depends on how a person engages in gambling. If it's impulsive and they can't control the amount of money they spend, it can actually create more problems, ultimately leading to even greater anxiety than before.

Gambling can be used as a temporary relief from the problems but it leads to nothing or even worse which is creating more problems but unfortunately there are gamblers who have financial issues think they can get through that with their luck and it just end up as worse, but they will always look for someone convincing story so they can justify what they are doing.

I agree with that. It can complicate things more if the anxiety already exists.

Those who have this kind of problem should really avoid gambling. I don't even have that kind of problem, and yet, when I am on a losing streak, I really feel the stress and the feeling of being cheated. No one likes that feeling, and if it triggers extreme anxiety, then it's better to just play other things that will relax us.
I stopped playing slots for weeks now because I really felt the impact of the stress, and thankfully, I am not looking for it anymore. I do want to play, but whenever I think about the stress it will give, I decide not to.

feeling anxious while gambling, and if you are not lucky enough to win, may even make the situation worse.

Yes, it is a fact, being anxious is something that we should try to control with other activities, I am a big defender of sports, in fact sports do not raise the immune system , it makes us happier and we get rid of many toxins, and those who suffer from anxiety when they get tired, the anxiety becomes a background and little by little things start happening little by little until such feeling is eliminated, because it is possible.

Every form of gambling can cause you into anxiety especially when you do not plan your strategies properly. Gambling is a game which causes gamblers much anxiety by default due to its nature of uncertainty, but anxiety in gambling can equally be reduced or tamed with a proper planning. When you plan yourself, you minimize your risk level and assess your engagement, you may end up minimizing the fears which brings the anxiety into you. But gambling and anxiety are both inseparable because of the nature of the game, you have no choice than to expect anxiety.

Exercise is a great way to calm down and feel safe in the face of any setbacks, especially in gambling. Our brains often forget that failures and losses aren't the end of our lives.
Physical activity restores our primal calm, because during exercise, we feel our bodies, feel safe, and strong in the here and now. Therefore, it's important to breathe properly and exercise. It's important to take care of yourself, because the body is our most basic home and the key to rock-solid peace.

Anxiety and gambling have a complicated relationship some people with anxiety might actually avoid gambling because they don’t like the uncertainty or the risks involved they would rather stay in their safe zone than risk losing money but for others gambling can feel like a temporary escape from their worries the fast pace the flashing lights and the thrill of winning or losing can numb the anxious thoughts for a while but when the game ends the problems are still there and sometimes even worse if money has been lost.

For someone with social anxiety online gambling can feel more comfortable because it removes the pressure of dealing with people in a casino setting there’s no need to interact with strangers or deal with judgment it becomes more of a private activity and that can make it feel safer but moderation is key if gambling stays just a casual pastime with limits it may not have much of an effect on anxiety at all however when people start to use it as a coping mechanism to cover up deeper issues it can quickly spiral into harmful behavior and create financial or emotional problems on top of the anxiety. Gambling doesn’t really solve existential worries or mental health struggles it can only distract from them temporarily real relief usually comes from healthier coping strategies like therapy exercise or meaningful activities but as you pointed out many gamblers convince themselves with stories of other people’s wins hoping they can be the lucky one too that’s where the danger lies because chasing luck rarely ends the way people imagine.

Actually, putting in much and expecting so much or putting in little and expecting much from gambling that you're not even in the team of those who determines the outcome is a big risk and bound to create anxiety.

You don't gamble because someone else is gambling or have got something out of it, you gamble because you have a working knowledge and  is willing to accept whatever it throws at you.

By this, there won't be any anxiety.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Once a gambler starts losing and the pressure on him negatively increases, the gambler will immediately shift from gambling on his right mind to gambling under pressure, so his decisions on his games will no longer be made through a clear mind but under the influence of the gambler's present mood, which may affect his games and lead to higher financial losses. If one is under pressure, the right thing to do is to stay clear from the table.

That's right, I have no doubt about it, staying away from the game at the right time is the best thing to do and the smartest thing because we are saving a lot of money, at the end of the day that is what really matters, so these are the things we should use to protect ourselves , the most important thing when betting is to try not to lose everything we have in our pocket.

There is no benefit in anxiety than getting being frustrated at the cause, we should also avoid anything that can lead to being anxious of the way we gamble, having the knowledge that gambling is expected to be seen as a way of being entertained, we should not let anxiety set in all because we couldn't afford to make a win upon any bet we place, this will hep us set the priority right and gamble more responsible.
