I Have Made The Biggest Mistake If My Life, Please Save A Depressed Soul by Nobody: 8:51am On Nov 10, 2019
Please help and read to the end, your little comment might save a depressed soul.

I finished NYSC early this year and moved in with my brother who is a site engineer in Lagos, I tried all I can to secure a job after my NYSC but mother luck is not smiling on me

After so many month of fruitless search, my brother and I concluded that we should open a business in which I will be in charge, my estimate of the business requires at least 400k for a start, my brother transferred 200k to me in late August and asked me to keep it until we get the remaining money for the business, but things were hard a little bit since then and he couldn't comes up with any other money

Week before last week my phone started one of his usual problem and I had to take it to an engineer for repair ( I have been using the phone for more than 3 years) after spending 2k on the phone the problem disappeared only to returns 3 days later

Due to the problem the phone is giving me a thought came to my mind last week Tuesday that I should use 20k out of the money with me to stake on 2 odds and use the profits to get my self a new phone

I never knew I was putting my self in a trouble that I will continue to regret for the rest of my life, I staked 20k on the champions league games of Tuesday with an expected return of 50k but Barcelona been the early kick off game spoiled it, I was frustrated and in a bid of winning back the lost 20k I lost another 20k that same Tuesday night.

Since then I have been staking trying to win the money back but everytime I keep loosing, I used the last 50k of the money to bets on 4odds yesterday and Napoli later spoiled it.

Since yesterday night I have been depressed I couldn't sleep throughout, a lot of thought have came to my minds

I have thought of Suicide but I couldn't afford to bring my mother to that much agony of loosing me

I thought of running away from house leaving my brother a note of the main reason why I left and why they shouldn't bother looking for me, but my mother also came to my mind, I couldn't afford to send the poor woman to an early grave we are the only ones she has been looking upto since she lost her husband in January this year, loosing me again can bring her sudden death.

I knew I am cursed and I have made a mistake that will continue hunting me for the rest of my life but I don't want to make another one.

Pls your little advice can go a long way in saving this depressed soul.

well, that's de big lesson u have to learn, always work for ur money, don't wait for lucks, lucks may come, but never wait for it as a means to survive, it's a costly mistake u have made, ur brother will be disappointed, he trusted u but u failed him, just look for any little thing u can be doing even if it's doing labour jobs, while things take shape, success to u brother

Gambling or betting is greediness in making fast money without much effort. Forget about this useless depression you are talking about because people have been in worst situations and they live. Look for a job and start it no matter how little it is and see yourself being lifted up in no time. Nobody brings success to this world, it was made here and I am making mine right now.so nothing stops you from making yours with diligence, focus, smartness and hardwork.

Scatter everything by telling your brother you got scammed by a ponsi scheme. You were simply trying to help him double the money.
But guy, you don't know when to stop ooo. 8 have been there before and I know exactly how you got here.
One thing I'm grateful to God for in my life is how he totally rescued me from gambling. I never thought I'll survive the addiction.

What advice do u need again? You should have advice urself b4 staking. he'd be mad and prolly lock u out and then you will have to move on.

How would you manage a business assuming you were in charge of it if u will be making poor decisions all the time?
Though I don't think there's anything wrong with gambling. If I say there is, I wIll be a big time hypocrite because there are lots of people making it through speculation using , Futures or Options market... That is also gambling..but when next u wanna gamble make sure it's your money.

Since your mother is the reason you won't take any s!lly step, I would advise you report yourself to your mother ASAP. She knows the right words to tell your brother. Don't think of going back to your brother though, at least not immediately.

Ppl like u are just destined to be poor and miserable till death. U blew away 200k someone gave u while me self became a millionaire before I left school from earning 5$ from my first task on fiverr. See eeh u are empty and I advice ppl when u pray for a child try and be specific. Just go to the village and start farming on some piece of land let the toughness of tilling land be ur penance. You deserve no form of help or pity.

You should be out on the street trying to at least get someone's sweat and blood back, There are laborer jobs everywhere, better get to it. It even a good thing your innocent brother hasn't invested the full amount for the business, now he will know the kind of person you are. If you had access to more funds, you would have kept going.
