so I started genshin impact about maybe a little over a month ago, I have bi polar 2, impulsive spending comes with the territory. either way I just caught myself spending 1000 dollars and I just paid my credit off!! I play on mobile...I avoided this game when it came out because I knew I will do something stupid like this but me although tested negative decided to quarantine myself and I don't have anything else to do...so I decided to get this game and try it out because you know...everyone is playing, and I was at a cosplay event and some of the ladies there had some really really nice costumes of genshin impact, I was photographing btw I bought 6000 dollars worth of camera gear a year before, I had an episode that prompt me to get a psychiatrist and I am on meds. Either way for all the F2P or people who resisted paying what is your strategy and mindset on not spending (although this may be hard for me and easier for normal people)?
I just recently rubber band my credit card and gave it to my mom to hold so I don't go near it, I recently took my credit card off App Store. and replaced it with a gift card in which I used to buy more gems...however....
I understand none of this is a smart idea or maybe not sure it was even worth it but I did pull from all this on the bright side but since money was already spent and I cannot do anything about the past, but if you guys were to hypothetically or have already/will spend $1000 would the list of pulls below good for the price? (I know...the best price is free)

I also told myself after the Ganyu/zhongli banner I would cut myself off and stop...unless I go hypomanic then I am screwed. however...I will try to only pull Ganyu c0 and stop, if I have left over for gambling on Zhongli then yeah.... I think what I got is pretty good and it eases the pain of foolishly spending that much in a short amount of time on a game in general, but those YouTube videos...they gotcha on Gacha, well I am going to talk to my psychiatrist again.
I really don't want to whale it...but I kinda already...am on that road
