It has been a while since i have posted but...Im back..:) I have a question because I have been on medicine for hypomania and anxiety and obessing, and it has been helping me but I was just recently put on seroquel as well. My therapist can tell that things are going well for me but here is the problem. I am feeling so good that I am wanting to go out and spend my money..(which isnt a lot). I have gotten to where I spend too much and then barely have enough to cover my bills. Yesterday my dad gave me money to help so that I could pay my bills..and I hated it because I have never asked for any money from him...but i will be paying him back for the next few months. Im worried because whenever i feel better...I tend to spend because Im happy and it is like im rewarding myself...but i cannot hold on to my money. Im either spending it on food...some of which i dont even need..or on clothes or stupid items. I never thought I had a problem with my money and spending but would this be considered one of my stages of hypomania? Should I be talking to my therapist about this? My dad said that if I end up spending too much on my credit cards that im going to be handing them over to him..plus my check book ...I kind of want that to happen because Im scared im going to be spending too much...:( I dont know what I need to be doing...if I need to make this known to my therapist...I havent racked up thousand of dollars..but I also dont want to keep having to borrow money from my dad...help me figure this out if you can...I need guidance. I just went and saw my therapist yesterday but I didnt mention it because we ran out of time...
