I made and lost more money than anyone in my family ever had. Now I feel lost at 26..

Hi everyone, I’m writing this because I honestly feel lost and maybe some people here went through something similar... I grew up mostly alone after 12. My dad wasn’t around and my mother worked abroad for years to support me and my brother. Financially things were always difficult and from a young age I became obsessed with finding ways to escape poverty and become successful. At 16 I met my first real love. At 17 she left me during one of the hardest periods of my life financially and emotionally. That honestly changed me a lot.
A few years later I suddenly made more money than I had ever seen before through risky gambling-related opportunities and online loopholes. Overnight my life completely changed. I bought an apartment, traveled, bought my dream car, and for the first time in my life I felt like I “made it”, but I had zero discipline and a serious gambling addiction that I didn’t fully realize at the time. Instead of building a future, investing, or creating stability, I kept chasing bigger wins and bigger dopamine hits until I lost everything. Then I repeated the cycle again later, made even more money, and destroyed my life financially a second time. At some point I also got into legal trouble related to those decisions, and that was the moment I realized freedom and peace are worth more than fast money, since then I’ve been working regular warehouse jobs, making average money, trying to stay on a legal path and rebuild myself from zero. But mentally it’s hard because I already experienced a completely different lifestyle very young, the worst part is that deep down I still feel capable of much more. I know I’m not lazy. I know I can think outside the box. But I also know my mindset became unhealthy because I always wanted fast results instead of long-term stability, now I’m 26 and sometimes I honestly feel old already, even though logically I know I’m probably not. I guess my question is:
How do you rebuild your life mentally after losing everything multiple times? How do you stop feeling like normal life is “not enough” after experiencing extreme highs and lows?
Thank you for reading everything

Hi everyone, I will share you my story in hope that you can give me some advices to fix my life..
I grow up mostly alone from 12yo without dad and my mother was working abroad to grow up her kids ( me, and my brother ), in 2012 I told her to buy bitcoin but she never listened, anyway at 16yo I met a girl which was my first and last love, I'll never forget her, at 17yo she left because I was broke and with a hard financial situation, in 2019 I made over 50.000€+ from a glitch between Revolut and one casino from my country, bought an appartment, a ford mustang 2017 and yeah she came back, but I didn't had the same feelings, I thought she was there just because of the money, anyway everything went back in the casino because I gambled everything away, just visited some countries, in 2021 I found another way to make money and I abused the same casino with fake identities and made over 200.000€ in 6 months, the wager was 35x but are some games where you can make it without losting even 5% from the bonus so I did that but instead of invest in my future I did the same shit again and losted everything gambling, after criminal police showed up and I got locked 24 hours in 2022 I couldn't do anymore anything illegal ( freedom is more important ), I didn't hurt anyone ( one of my "friends" set me up, that s how the criminal police found me ), anyway since I got released I was a modern slave ( constantly ) working in a warehouse, making 400-500€ per week but I feel like I'm capable of more, in the same time I need to do something legal to don't get locked up, I don't want to work all my life for others but I don't see any other alternative ( at least for the next few years ), if you ca help me with an advice or what I should it will be trully appreciated, thank you for reading this, now I'm 26, but I feel I'm old already.

Hi everyone, I made a casino from scratch which is provably fair, the platform looks very similar with duel.com ( Duel.com is a crypto-casino which went in one year on the top 3 crypto-casinos with over 100M in profit ), I used to be a player for 10 years and as a player I can tell you that in the crypto-industry if you see something similar that's trustable and playable, I wanted to self-exclude myself but always found similar alternatives and duel was the only one keeping me in there because of their instant withdrawals and no kyc system, I need investors to run this casino, as by myself is impossible, I need few partners with marketing, capital and someone with gambling license, if anyone is interested lmk

Hello everyone, I built welmaxis.com from scratch by myself because I think this is missing but my main problem is the marketing, I don't know how to do it or how to find the specific audience, main reason for me to built this platform was to raise money for my future project which is also ready built and made from scratch by myself which is provably fair, the platform looks very similar with duel.com ( Duel.com is a crypto-casino which went in one year on the top 3 crypto-casinos with over 100M in profit ), I used to be a player for 10 years and as a player I can tell you that in the crypto-industry if you see something similar that's trustable and playable, I wanted to self-exclude myself but always found similar alternatives and duel was the only one keeping me in there because of their instant withdrawals and no kyc system, I need investors to run this casino, as by myself is impossible, also for now I feel exhausted and I don't know what to do to escape "the matrix", I feel like I tried everything and I waste my life slowly working for others instead of enjoying the life, any feedback on my website will be appreciated.
