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

Anxious people should not gamble because it is an activity that can increase stress and worsen their overall mental condition. Especially in gambling, there is a very high level of uncertainty and risk of loss, which can cause anxiety to worsen over time in someone who cannot properly control their emotions and thoughts. This may lead to a loss of focus and potentially result in impulsive decisions that harm them in the long run. Therefore, as an anxious person, one needs to stay away from high-risk activities such as gambling, as it could further deteriorate their condition.

In the past when I newly started gambling, I can say I was exhibiting this symptom but not now that I am very much aware of how to handle gambling in a very responsible manner and the fact that I only play once in a while and only with a small amount of money makes it so easy for me to feel less concerned about the outcome, what I mean is, before I decide to use $5 for gambling it means I don't care if I lost it or not and once I lost the money, I'll just step down and try again next time which could take a long time again.

Gamblers might experience anxiety if they bet with an amount they cannot afford to lose. The fear of losing such an amount might trigger anxiousness which might affect the gambler adversely. Anxiety could lead to costly mistakes. Just as you mentioned, if I gamble with an amount that I spend on other forms of entertainment like movie ticket and other subscriptions, it wouldn't lead to any form of fear. But if I am gambling with my entire weekly earnings, it will trigger anxiety.

Spending an entirely weekly earning in gambling  is something I can not do even with closed eyes, except I have the option to use that weekly payment as an entire gambling budget for a month or two. The risk why I will not even spend up to that amount per week in gambling is because I could lose it more than the profit and then I will end up have anxiety because I didn't intend to lose such amount.

Of course as a good gambler would never in any way think of spending the whole weekly pay in gambling because there is no guarantee of doubling your weekly pay, rather it will still going to lead you into anxiety. Honestly, this is something that I would never in my life think of trying because gambling is not a place to make money overnight. Viewing it as an entertainment or having fun with only what you can afford to lose is definitely the best way to overcome anxiety.

To manage gambling properly, a person needs to be healthy and have a disciplined plan, otherwise gambling can lead to losing all the money. Gambling is not right for an anxious person at all. To manage gambling properly, it is necessary to adopt different strategies at different times, such as setting money and time limits, taking time after winning a bet, and not betting repeatedly to recover lost money. In my opinion, it is better for an anxious person to give himself time instead of gambling.

When someone is anxious, they should look for other things to get them off that mood instead of gambling. Even if you are a gambler who has set out rules for your gambling activities, being in that anxious state will make you disregard your own rules, and your emotions are likely to bring out the worst version of you at that moment. If time is not taken, all actions taken at that point are what the gambler will end up regretting.

Yes, this is certainly true, people cannot maintain their balance most of the time when they are anxious, and gambling is something that can easily lead to major disasters if you do not have complete self-control, so if you are not in the right frame of mind in such a situation, you should never gamble. In such a situation, it is best if you go somewhere with your friends or go to an open place and clear your mind, when I am in such a situation, I usually go to a river bank, where there is a lot of wind and I take one or two of my friends with whom I can talk openly and as a result my mind becomes much thinner. So gambling should only be played when you are in complete mental control, because you have to come out of it at the right time.

Anxiety definitely should have impact on gambling, knowing that all about gambling is in taking a risk and when we are gambling, we often more times appear being perplexed in expectation of what to happen as we play our bets, while some gamblers already having anger management issues may finds this more difficult for them to control, in other way, some could manage their own anxiety by not introducing it to taking effect on how they are faring with gambling.

If you are anxious, you will never be able to make the right decisions in gambling. The person who has no control over his emotions will always take the wrong steps, invest more and become too excited or depressed during wins and losses.

One thing is that we always say that those who feel anxiety shouldn't gamble, but when I see people around me, everyone is involved in gambling. That is sad because those people will lose more money if they lose in gambling. I wonder if the gambling sites provide certain case studies where people can know how emotional people lose money, if they educate people, it may put a dent in their (casino's) earnings

Anxiety in gambling affects gamblers in two different ways. One group consists of those people who are worried about losses and stay in a safe zone, they take their steps very carefully and make small bets, where small profits are enough for them. The second group thinks that gambling is a way to escape from these worries, and they start making larger bets. In my view, if a person has anxiety, they should stay away from gambling altogether because they will not be able to afford the losses and will go deeper into debt, which will cause more problems for them.

[dezoel]

Yes, I am an anxious person. I can say that playing gambling can do some healing about my condition, especially if I win. I only make sure that I won't get addicted because it can make my anxiety to go severe too. This is only its downside here. Being anxious can indeed make us to worry at all times but when you know that you want to gamble, this worrysome can subside for a while. In gambling it is still fine to stay on our comfort zone because even if we don't, opportunities around it are still hard to get.

Yeah, gambling can make us forget things but we are still stronger than anyone else. So if we think about our anxiety during it, then it can hit us again but this is also better to not continue playing anymore, especially if we are already winning.

Why don't you look at it this way, gambling actually make some persons anxious and full of anxiety so the advice should be to learn how to control your emotions when gambling because that's the number thing that leads to all the major problems that is gambling related. When you are anxious you don't think straight and do things the way it's not supposed to be and we all know where that will land you in gambling.

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 only can be anxious when there is something to lose. There are some games you bet your money on, you win them but when you review how the game went or watch live how the game was played, you will know that you were only lucky to win that game. If you are anxious to play, it's either you don't have an experience or you are risking too much which is making you to fear, just do you and see the result because there is nothing that is guaranteed in gambling.

The best way to overcome fear is gamble with little, most casino allow you to gamble as low as $0.5, $1 and above, you can always play around this figures to practice, learn more about some casino games on YouTube. Download some casinos games online that doesn't require any wager, repeat this consistently to gain better skills, anxiety will run away from you after sometimes but if it's doesn't stop, then you have to stop. It's not like if you don't gamble, you are going to die.

i know that anxious people tend to lose sleep over things

i think that if you have some kind of mental issue you should keep away from gambling because there is a huge chance that you will just worsen your mental condition like if you have any compulsive disorders, anxiety, depression or any other addiction to something else

Anxiety in gambling affects gamblers in two different ways. One group consists of those people who are worried about losses and stay in a safe zone, they take their steps very carefully and make small bets, where small profits are enough for them.

In my view, if a person has anxiety, they should stay away from gambling altogether because they will not be able to afford the losses and will go deeper into debt, which will cause more problems for them.

That's why gambling is not for those who are deeply anxious, but are constantly afraid of losing big. Gambling is for those who have developed a mindset that is strong enough to handle losses before they bet. There is a class of people who after losing money in gambling, talk about it in public and also say that they have lost a lot in gambling. They have lost everything and many people tell them to stop gambling but they will not stop gambling and cannot control their losses in gambling. Such people should be advised to stay away from gambling at all times. Because they are not perfect for gambling.

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

It is possible for peoples anxiety levels to change through life - sometimes just landing the right job with a decent and stable income can totally transform your outlook on life, making you a more confident person. That being said, if you are anxious then you might be more introverted and this might lead you to things like online gaming. If you somehow get a taste for gambling, then you might become hooked and find it tougher to wean yourself off if you do not have others to support you. Being an introvert can often mean you have fewer friends and your social circle might be rather small, which can make it more difficult to talk to people if you think you're developing a problem. You might also like the routine that develops through an addiction, so maybe need to be more wary of that.

That will make situation worse.

If a gambler is experiencing anxiety, they shouldn't gamble at all because the high pressure from being anxious could make yourself bankrupt.

You're going to think of how much you should have recovered already where in fact, you're having hard time in recovering them.

Me if I am anxious, I don't even know what to do or just I'll get some sleep all day long because these stress are adding on top of each other.

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

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, and this constant anxiety doesn’t let them truly relax. Because of it, they already have enough adrenaline without the need for gambling. I believe that even if anxious people do gamble, they tend to be overly cautious, too cautious to make any big bets. Often, it’s just about playing with very small amounts of money.

You have a point but there are people dealing with anxiety issues that gambles as a way to help them relax but it ends up making it worse. Gambling isn't supposed to be used a coping mechanism or a mental defense to emotional distress, people who make this mistake put themselves in more precarious situations. The most important thing that should be paid attention to here are the health risks when one already has anxiety issues

[Jaycoinz]

It all depends on the individual, to some people anxiety makes them drawn to gambling and others might not be able to gamble due to how anxious they are. We can all agree that anxiety makes gambling worse, there are times when you would make decisions out of fear and panic because you are scared to lose or perhaps life issues are making you stressed out. Anyone dealing with this shouldn't be gambling in the first place

Anxiety doesn't actually make anyone to become suspectable gambling the only problem with anxiety when it comes to gambling is that you are always afraid when the games that you bet on have started playing that feeling of not wanting to check the live score or even wanting to watch the game because you are afraid that you are going to lose the slip

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

How do you mean anxiety in this matter op? Because what I have only experienced here is that when I feel hesitant I no longer continue playing gambling, that's just the usual things
that are often done in these situations.

Then it's hard to gamble if you feel anxiety in reality, because it can ruin our strategy as gamblers in any casino honestly speaking.
It's better to gamble knowing that you are really in condition.

[DPHOR]

I am not an anxious person who is that eager or desperate of making winning from gambling, neither do I feels restless if I don't gamble for any day. Gambling is meant for fun and not for money making and even if other are so much desperate eager and wanting to win that doesn't affect me for any reason because when gambling I do apply responsible gambling practice without being carried away by winning or maybe becoming that anxious of winning.

I wish you to continue to maintain such a strong mental state, because I have read articles about gamblers who at first also believed that they were completely strong persons in a moral and volitional sense, but ultimately, due to the fact that there are so many outcomes on the screen - wins and losses, the psyche of such a person became unstable.

In this case, it is very important to play not with borrowed funds and not with your last money. But with those funds that you can easily lose without cutting your expenses for everyday needs.
