I swear I am bipolar sometimes, yet when I've told past psychiatrists that my oldest sister is bipolar and my dad was bipolar, they still just told me I had clinical depression and was not bipolar. I have been shopping a lot for the past six weeks and blowing my savings on all kinds of things: tops, jewelry, purses. I swear I have bought 50 pieces of cheap jewelry and 15 purses along with lots of tops. I bought several tops in all six or eight colors available. On one day, I bought three wristlets. The same wristlet in all three colors that were available. I know I need to stop, but I've been saying that for the past three weeks. I have slowed down and don't make constant trips to Ross anymore. I also returned a lot of what I bought from Ross, but I did keep a lot of it, like most of the bags. I have one bag in three different colors now. I do really like the bag. It is shaped like a pyramid with hanging ties. I have plenty of new tops to wear now, along with the all of the old "new" tops in my closet that I never wore before and don't fit right now. I bought one sweater in five colors. I know I could keep shopping and finding sales and great deals and more and more jewelry and it would be neverending so I have to stop (for now) and in a couple of months, I can shop a little again. Good thing I did not start shopping for shoes as well because I know I can get crazy with shoes. I've been able to in the past find 20 pairs at once that I wanted to buy. I love heels and it is good I am not wearing them. Shoes can be expensive when you are buying many at once. I did buy three pairs of wedges recently but for only $40 each on sale. Great deal and they are very comfortable!
In the past, I had bipolar urges from time to time. If I'd had money in my account, I would have gone out and blown through it. If I had friends who partied and drank, I would have gone out and gotten wasted and slept around (and regretted it the next day). I would have been suddenly wild and dancing on top of bars.
I have many mental illnesses (I think), but I think I am also bipolar (for sure), but only sometimes.
What do you do when you are manic to control your urges to spend or do things you shouldn't be doing? Sometimes I just want to go out and shop. Luckily, I have controlled myself very well to sale items and clearance items only so I have gotten a lot for my money.
