Is this normal behavior??

[cocarondelle]

Been playing online for about 8 months and i feel a lose of self control at the tables. I was wondering if anybody experienced these same things, and what did u do to combat the situation.

I feel the need to win back money after a lost at any costs including playing blackjack.

I sometimes lose sleep thinking about playing poker.

I neglect my studies to play poker.

I began to get extremely upset after busting out of tourneys.

Are these normal feelings that most players have or am I headed to the dark side of gambling?

I'm still up, but i feel that I'm losing a little bit of control I had when i first started. I guess when i began it was for fun, and I think i went to the gray area of "well i made the correct play.... I should've won" and throwing little tantrums around the house. So I'll go get them back or let me play an SNG so i can win it all back. You guys catch my drift?
