Yes, the fallout is so awful. For me its the depression--all the avoided phone calls, undone projects, broken deadlines and promises, and yes the messy house,...it must get so old for those who know me, to have me one day come into the room with sort of an "I'm back and on the ball!!" attitude, only to have me slip away from the radar screen yet again for weeks on end.
The self-loathing is agony. The amount of relief you get in saying to yourself--"you're not iresponsible, lazy and uncaring, you have a disease" is very minimal.
