Ah, Curious, we all make dumb choices. I know I have-- in my hypomanic state I've quit jobs, spent irresponsibly, and seriously messed up some relationships.
There's one thing I hope you can quit doing. It may or may not lead toward acceptance, but it's worthwhile anyway. Stop blaming yourself. That's your illness talking. You are not responsible for having the illness, or for the things it has caused you to do. You are responsible for learning to manage it, and that process begins with an end to self-blame and the achievement of acceptance.
