You do lou, we are humans. DID or no DID we ALL make mistakes.

You mentioned saving then blowing money... I've got that exact problem...

I got $4,500 back on my income taxes this year. I had everything mapped out, exactly how much I would allow for what, pay some school and tickets paid off, catching up on the light bill a month of rent in case of emergency and paying my daughters ballet through the season.

Well 3 weeks later I go to pull money out for ballet and there's only $200 left. I spent a total of about $1,100 but somehow only had $200 left out of $4,500. I tried and tried and tried to remember where all the money went, I was SO careful planning all of the money. But it just seemed no where to be found. Checked the bank and you know how some banks are, they don't give full store names and lots of things, so I couldn't understand but sure enough the money had all been spent. The only thing I took care of were the lights and what I could for her ballet. No school, no rent no tickets paid.

It happens, we're not perfect, no one is, and unfortunately that goes for our parts too.

Be more gentle with yourself, you're allowed to make mistakes.

Oh and I'm reading a great book, it kind of reminds me of you every now and then. No offense please, it's just the way she talks reminds me of you every once in a while. Let me know if you want the name of the book, it's about DID, so far the best one I've read. It's not necessarily the DID that's a reminder, it's just your way of talking and her way of talking. It's been extremely helpful already and I just started reading it last night
