<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

I have bipolar disorder, I'm 33 years old, in the US, and I'm single.  I've spent the last 15 years basically digging myself out of one financial disaster after another. 

I've gone off my medication several times, and each time, I spend every dime I can get my hands on.  I've blown through so much money and run up credit card debt and tax bills numerous times.  Everything eventually crashes down around me and I go back to therapy and medication and spend the next couple years getting my finances back on track.  

Right now I am back on my meds and seeing a therapist and am working diligently to pay off my debt (again).  When the bipolar crap is under control, I'm actually a pretty frugal person and good with managing my money.  

I would love to think that I will never stop taking my meds again, or never have another manic episode, but that is probably unrealistic.

I actually have a pretty successful career in spite of everything, and I want to save for retirement and a house and be able to help my parents as they get older.  

Are there any options for me to sort of protect my money from myself?  Maybe it's not at all possible, but it would be great if I somehow had access to my money for things I need, but could protect it if I have an episode.  I'd also like to figure out a way to stop myself from getting credit cards or cashing out my retirement accounts in those circumstances.  

Thanks for any advice you can give me!
