In the past 3 days - as they say, everything comes in 3's

Friday I got summons to appear in Court because my credit card company is suing me for $5,000.00 - 2 separate cases at $ 2,500.00.

Saturday my Internet company comes by my house for payment because I bounce a check - so i had to pay cash

Today Sunday my landlady calls saying I bounce last months rent check of July - now I owe her July and August. Because that check bounce her checks bounce since relied on my rent check to pay her bills - granted she is ****ed. If I dont get caught up with her I will get kicked out of my place that I have been at for 9 years. My rent is fairly cheap for the size and area I'm living in, and I dont want to mess it up. But I dont want to jeopardized my other bills - yet I'm behind on those as well.

I'm self supportive, live by myself. I'm surprise I haven't lost it!!

I dont know how I got myself into this damn mess!!

I'm always behind in my bills. I know I need to get another job to get caught up, but I wish I can get one that would pay enough a week that is worth it...

Is this "normal" behavior for BP'ers???

I have tried to write a reply three times and deleted it all times. I do not want to over step any boundaries by saying what I think. As for it being common with bp to over spend I would say yes.

The problem with BP's is that on the manic side they tend to go on shopping sprees and from the credit cards I guess maybe that is what happened? I am not judging as I do not have credit cards I just spend what is in the bank. I don't mean to and I am not even able to work anymore and am fighting with SSD right now. Have you talked to your Pdoc about this? If this is going on and you are on meds then evidently they are not working which is what I keep telling mine. I hope I don't offend you in any way just a thought as my doc things if I don't spend what he considers a great amount then its okay.

I haven't been able to work for over a year and it makes me even more crazy b/c I was always a workaholic.

Hang in there and Best Wishes.
