This past year, an over prescribed dose of AD flared up my manic side and I spent over $5k on a stupid online game- or two. Now, here in the middle of winter after realizing what I've done, we are struggling to stay afloat, and I feel so guilty of it. Can you say I'm kicking myself in the butt everytime I go to the store? Pay a bill? Pay rent? Drink a beer?

I own what I did, my dumb bipolar butt blew our winter wad. I feel so awful and guilty. Lesson learned, no more addicting money costing games. I've given away all my accounts and now play free solitaire.

Have any of you screwed up this bad (that goes without saying) and survived it well?
