You gotta start thinking of life as long term. This is just short term variance that sucks, it will pass soon.

It's an idea, but I've already thrown so much money at the situation that it would probably just piss me off. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

At least I'm laughing about it now. I'd like to thank ZeeJustin and Devin especially for sending some really quality messages privately that really helped get my mind back on track.

It's not that much money, but it's enough to make you not think clearly and want to blow your brains out.

I think it's more the case that I know I was capable of making this type of money before my ex made me give the game up and then subsequently left me. It just feels like my life was nearly stripped from me, so it didn't seem like as much of a stretch to either steal to get it back or end it.

Thanks for helping me think a bit more clearly, 2+2. I'm going to go take a nap and sleep on it a bit, and see how I feel in the afternoon.

Hopefully this isn't a complete flame-fest when I return. Even though the subject matter isn't a great topic, I don't think I'm an idiot that deserves a ton of flames. I got a lot more help out of this thread than you could possibly know.

Thanks again 2+2.

how would eliminating all your debt piss you off?
because you spent X dollars already and didnt think of bankruptcy? or?

Because I've put enough money into the debt already that filing would be really wasteful. Maybe I wouldn't be "pissed off" so to speak, I'd just feel like I wasted a lot of money I could have saved.

But then again I guess I feel that way anyways, so I'll probably just suck it up for a few more months and pay it off.

This note is a goodbye or sorts.

Not many know me, but they'd know me if I posted under another name.

I used to think I was a good player, got into bad personal problems, and now have resorted to trying to get back to normal on my mother's credit.

This game is no good for anyone without a great amount of luck. This is my goodbye to 2+2, my family, and the world. Don't let thinking you're good at a game of cards ruin your life like it did mine.

I sat there and tried to find a suicide chat room on the internet, all you can find is phone numbers. I'm too ashamed to talk to someone over a telephone, so I figured I'd post here.

Poker ruined my relationship because the money wasn't regular. I made enough, but it wasn't regular enough, and maybe that's just a bad girl. But then I tried to get more and more trying to please the chick, and I [censored] myself over.

Don't fall into my trap. Online poker was a death trap for me, and I was a "winning" player. It only takes a bit of a bad run to kill you and make you hate your life. I just hope this serves as a message to all of the prospective "pros" out there. You better make a few hundred grand, and then go for a few hundred more safely.

But hey, I put someone through college, paid off 2 cars and a house. I must have did OK, right? Guess not...

Goodbye 2+2, and sorry for sounding like a bitch but my bipolar ass can't take this [censored] anymore.

Visit a children's hospital with 3 year old kids with terminal diseases and you will never feel sorry for yourself again.
