I have decided to join gamblers Anonymous because if I did not have enough mental or physical health issues it turns out I am also a degenerate gambler.

This year I have lost $60,000 and in my lifetime maybe $250,000 altogether in the forms of Poker, day trading, stock investing, etc.
Recently I am only in the stock market but I had a disastrous year in 2021, 2020 was not much better. I am 65 in December and my retirement account is not even at $100,000. If I live too long I will be truly poor.
The reason I am posting is not to seek sympathy but to draw the connection between bipolar and gambling and how the stock market can be addictive if one trades frequently.
