I've Lost Everything Playing The Online VA Lottery

I have generalized anxiety disorder and recently got laid off from my job of over three years. I'm a student who has not been able to get a loan because I don't have a cosigner even though I only have three semesters left. I also just went through a really bad break up because my boyfriend cheated on me wnd violated me. I came home to virginia for the holidays and figured I would try my hand at the VA lottery. I am completely new to any sort of gambling. To make a long story short, I lost all of my savings (tax refund and severance pay) to the tune of $5,500 in less than a month from playing the online Virginia lottery. I first lost about $1k but gained it back after winning in the Robin hood game, but UVA health claimed all of the winnings. Then, I chased that loss, with a few ups and downs but I was trying to win money for school. I just blew through my last $400 on Merry Money Mania in les than 30 minutes.

The semester starts on January 20th. I'm trying not to feel suicidal - I don't know what to do now. I really needed that 5k and now I don't know how I'm going to survive. What do I do now?? How do I recover from this?? Olease, please help me. It only took a few weeks for me to develop a gambling addiction. I@' desperate and don't know what to do.
