Never gamble if your a manic depressive. Not cause im a bad gambler, im infact very good one at roulette. The problem is because of my low self esteem, i don't know when to stop cause i go hyper manic.  To give an example of the last time i gambled i only had £50 with me.

So it was late one Saturday evening at 3 in the morning, i walked in sat down at the roulette machine. Like the anti social git iam, and proceeded in the first hour to make £500. Then in the next 2 i just lost all control, as i fell into my high.

And what if i had just walked out after that first hour? Don't matter it would only further re-inforce my belief i can beat the system, and make money.

Luckily though is very simple to voluntarily ban yourself, which worked in my case. My bigger issue though is sex addiction. My friends always say least i have never had to pay to fund that, then i usually retort by telling them that it costs money to take women out and charm them.

Yeah im flawed, but hey im open and honest about it. Which is more than i can say for most people.
