Overstimulated Brain

We took a small trip to the mountains for a couple of days, stayed in a Hotel Casino.

Let me tell you something a Casino is no place for a Schizophrenic to visit.

Loud noises, crowds, bright lights from the machines, loud music.

But hey I won some money playing the slots.

Glad I’m back home.

It’s great that you had a holiday. I’d love to just go away for a week , somewhere by the beach though. You’ve got me thinking now … But the reason I haven’t gone yet is I’d probably just spend all my time in the hotel room.

And well done on beating the house at the slots.

Thanks @everhopeful, I liked staying in the room the best.
I really surprised myself by going into the casino but the experience was way too stimulating.
I barely made it.

I couldn’t play at the tables though - too fast paced.

All I could manage was playing at easy simple slot machines and even then I had a hard time.

Yeah it was still worth it because I made it.
Didn’t think I could manage but I did.

Besides my father likes to gamble a bit.
I did it for him too.

I walk past all the flashing and buzzing to the card room. I love Texas hold 'em tournaments. I placed 7th and 11th out of 120+ players my last visit. Hotel got most of the money 'cause I’m scared of bedbugs at the cheaper ones.

When I’m manic i love it all but when I’m paranoid i can’t go because all the flashing lights and noise and people reduces me to tears.

That sounds really good! I have never been to a casino before. I used to play a lot of poker at the local pub and I used to always reach the last table and come either 1st or 2nd and win money. This was before I was ill, but I guess maybe a bit of flat effect gave me an unfair advantage is my only guess as to why I was so good at it with bluffing etc.

I like casinos. My GF used to take me to Vegas every once in a while.
I played the nickel slots mostly, only won a few bucks a couple of times.
But I enjoyed the drinking and people-watching.

I went to a casino with my gf recently, I got so stressed that people were messing with me that we got in a big fight. I was calmer than I thought I would be, though (for most of the time).

Yeah I was afraid of bed bugs too so I slept on top of the covers.
But this Hotel is pretty fancy, it’s four stars.

@eighteyedspy23 I mainly played the 1 cent slots.

You know what’s funny, I just love casinos and could go in and stay for days and says and never eat or sleep and just play the slots forever. I love it so much! I win all the time but hardly ever bring any money home because I play until I can’t play anymore. If I get a huge jackpot I usually leave but that few and far between. So if I hit a grand maybe I’ll go home with it. I’ve probably won $35 grand but spent $40 grand to get it. Oh ■■■■ that’s the life of a gamblaholic I guess.

I don’t gamble well. I think it’s best I don’t try.

I tried casinos, too much noise, too many people, and everything flashing gets to me.

I’m a big fan of going for wilderness hikes.
