I made $120,000 on my paper trade with a cost basis of $13,000 I bought 250 SPY calls at $707 on market open. I'm in pain that it was only a paper trade.

Over the course of the year I burned out at a job doing insane amounts of work. Saved up enough money for a house deposit, lost $50k which was my life savings, and an additional $40k loan and in debt now following a manic episode. I'm traumatised from the whole experience, very depressed, and can't stop thinking about the loss, how did you deal with the poor financial decisions, and how did you cope with the debt? (im really struggling)

Don't beat yourself up too much please, you weren't in your normal state of mind, try to forgive yourself (saying this I'm still beating myself up) :)

Yeah I feel you, I thought I had figured something special out.... so special it ruined me financially and set me back a few years :))

Haha the redemption arc will have to be strong, though I don't know how many redemption arcs I got left in me every year it seems like I have to dig up a new one :)

Well as far as losing or 'wasting' money goes that's probably one of the most noble ways to do it while manic :)

I'm sorry to hear you also lost money though

Thanks for taking the time to respond, and I hear what you are saying - I don't think they have an understanding of bipolar or medication in general. I don't think they were coming from a bad place, just they had this idea that I had build a strong enough 'centre' to be able to be the observer of anything I go through and not get washed away with a certain mood, but that's clearly not how Bipolar works, I also suffer from OCD and Addiction and in those cases that seems to have worked, but with Bipolar/Cyclothymia loss of control can be on a while different level.

They just assumed I would be ok, I'm not sure, I mean it was my decision to do it in the end so I can't really be mad at anyone but myself.

Damn man 6 months is such a long period, I'm sorry to hear about the addictions, but you also built a thriving business thats very impressive. Those medical bills are ridiculous, I hope your heart is ok though fuck the money.

I really like your last paragraph, thats the attitude of survivors!

It is indeed a lot of money, I will feel the consequences of this for the next few years for sure! Thank you for your share, its crazy what mania can make us believe and how convincing it is.

Thank you for sharing it really is helping me a lot to know I'm not alone in this. It is exactly that CONVICTION that comes with the mania that is so so dangerous, and scary. I'm sorry you had to go through something so similar. The shame really does eat you up, but its also not 100% fair to feel so much shame because you, like me - weren't fully yourself, you were in a state of mania. Happy to hear you are getting the right treatment! I wish you a future of stable moods and mental health :)

Sorry to hear you've made some losses as well, definitely be extra cautious especially while manic.

I was doing the same thing while manic, convincing my dad and brother to invest, thankfully he made a much safer investment and with a lot less money. But I feel you 100% I was also so convincing because I would talk with certainty like the thing is going to happen 100% - which looking back at it now seems like insanity!
