I have to go back and talk to my pych doctor. But I am still getting really bad mania's some of them are triggered by socializing sometimes, I am on meds, but i often get really depressed and just stop giving a fuck about taking them. I was off my meds for 7 months once, and i ended up having a very serious episode and had to go in as an emergency patient to see my pych dr and get meds again.
Daddy was supposed to be reminding me to take my meds but he can't even remember his own head from his butt sometimes medically lol.

Erieangel, I too spend to much when manic. Shopping is also the one joy in my life outside of eating that I really have. I feel so good, so happy, so on a high, then I realize that I have just clubbed any progress I had made in working myself out of my hole to death.
I actually do believe I have a shopping addiction.
I sent you a pm.
A manic run sometimes manifests itself in spending to excess on items that are not needed or even wanted.
I am type two bipolar, manic episodes are manifested by reckless behavior, not sleeping and sometimes reckless spending. I am lucky in that I do not have angry or violent manic episodes, but during manic runs I tend to find stupid stuff funny.
My depressive runs from mild to severe, mild manifesting in isolating, sleeping most of the day, refusal to take meds (which of course deepens the depressive cycle) interacting with only my dogs and not family, and ultimately in suicidal thoughts, and a few times on unsuccessful suicide attempts, due to unforeseen visits of family or a friend I hadnt seen in years who then call for medical assistance.
Thinking back, I would say that my recklessness in tight situations while in the army could be referred to as attempted suicide.
Any way topping, if counseling is available use it. And talk to your care provider about mood stabilizers, there are a few with minimal side effects.
I actually got lucky, the new assistant priest in my parish happens to have doctorates in, divinity, medicine and psychology, he works in the local all faith medical mission and he sees me twice a week, he and the local state mental health agency which handles my meds and social programs for my medicare and stuff work pretty good together.
Off meds I am unpredictable in my manic runs and dangerous to myself in a deep depression.
Everyone in the house makes sure I take my meds, and I rarely forget them. The only times I do is in the morning when something upsets my routine.
