Have you been diagnosed with ADHD?
I am diagnosed with ADHD, but more pressingly I'm diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder. The manic phases from that make me try to empty my bank account at the slightest provocation, even after being medicated rather well for it.
The ADHD sure doesn't help though, causing me to still be impulsive even when not in a manic phase, just less so. It's also possible my impulse control in my manic phases is only as bad as it is because it's combined with ADHD.
I don't know about the other stuff, but my understanding is that people with ADHD have hard time avoiding addictions as is.
You rolled challenging traits in character creation, but remember that all negative perks give more experience. Keep it up. Godspeed.
