In reply to Hypomania and spending a lot..., posted by Pandabear on March 11, 2004, at 11:51:50
I used to have a problem with spending during manic episodes. I was just telling Tinydancer about the time I bought a diamond ring...anyway, here's my advice: Make a list (charts are helpful) of everything that you buy. This includes sodas, candy, how much you spend at the grocery store, misc items, clothes, etc. EVERYTHING. I have found that this really helps to track and see where the money is going. Plus, it seems to help when I'm manic to make me realize that I can't spend money that I don't have!
