In my case I have slightly better impulse control, even commented by my pdoc. I never borrowed money never used a credit card. The other side of the coin is age and loneliness. What pleasures do I have and what opportunities can I have to leave the house. I cannot walk much due to a bad back/legs, I go out to swim, eat, drive(waste of gas) and sometimes I go to the casino, now that my wife is not home.
I quit day trading where I lost $27,000 in one-day trading testa options. If I play with a couple of hundred dollars that is no problem gambling for me. I play poker only and that I must play very cautiously. I thank all of you for caring. I take my meds and hope for the best.
In the past whenever I had a manic phase and woke up in the middle of the night, I went to the card clubs and obviously, I lost as manic playing with no meds is like burning dollar bills.
