['I lost all my savings in Vegas last week because of my gambling problem.', "I'm so so sorry to hear that, it can't be easy being in that position. Have you spoken to anyone close to you about it?", 'I have been too sad to tell anyone about this so I have kept it secret. Do you think I should talk to someone?']
Definitely. Not to make this about me, but I've had a lot of issues in my life that simply got worse over time because I kept it to myself.
I lost all my money in gambling.
