This is a very serious question, if you feel like that seek help. Remember that it is just a game, if you are spending money that you could not lose it is also a case of asking for expert help. On poker sites there are even help topics and responsible gambling.
The most I feel at times is the desire to break something and abandon poker. A hug! if you need help or just talk to someone who is available, just send a PM.

The game is supposed to be a fun thing, if you are not having fun and get frustrated when you lose and consequently lose money, then it is better not even to play.
We have no guarantee that we will profit from a session, we only have to go to the tables with money that we can lose, doing a good bank management.

I love and enjoy the game of poker. For me, my friend, I did not and will not think once or even one percent of suicide. It is not possible for a person or a normal professional player to go bankrupt and commit suicide because of poker or other gambling games, and it is not necessary to make this big mistake, in addition to this There are free online rules and advice that we need to follow to avoid bankruptcy. Six years ago, I was working in a hotel that contains a casino, and I saw some gamblers who went bankrupt, "not in one day, but more than two years of gambling, with money exceeding two million dollars" and did not commit suicide until today. Yes, it is not easy to tolerate bankruptcy, but we must continue life and rise again and not make the same mistake. “I think suicide has more to do with mental illness.”

OP if poker makes you feel like this please stop playing.
You are either playing way outside your means or have other issues. Please find somebody to talk to.
I only ever sit down to a cash game or buy into a tournament with a sum I am happy to lose. That is so important.

If you are losing too much through any form of gambling then it is time to Stop. It will effect your Marriage and other relationships you have with Friends and Family, to the point where you might feel that to feed your ambition to strike it rich, you need that one big win to get you out of that hole, and you will beg, borrow or even steal to get into that one game that will get you out of it.
Life is not like that, and I learned long before I got married that Gambling is great fun at times when you are winning but when you have responsibilities to other people you really cannot afford to lose.
When I was single I had times when I was so broke I had to borrow money to survive until my next pay-check came in, and I sadly believed my addiction was not hurting anyone but myself, I was dead wrong because it was effecting my Friends and Family who would always lend me cash, even when it was hard on them to do so.
Eventually when I got into a relationship with my future Wife I decided it was time to quit as I did not want to put her through my losing sessions, My problem was not Poker, but the Horse's and Dog track.
I still like an occasional Flutter on the Horse's but limit myself to gamble only on a day out at the Race course, my last was about 6 years ago, so it is not a daily thing, I can take it or leave it when I want to.
Some people will say that any addiction cannot be managed, you need to stop and never do it at all, But my Philosophy is, If I can manage it to such a point, that I know what I am losing, then I am not a true addict, and Poker is like that, I know exactly what it cost's me because I have never deposited, and my Bankroll is all pure Profit, from Free-rolls.
When the fun Stops, STOP!
