I was having a terrible morning. Well, i played golf and went out to lunch with my brother, mom and bf, but I was on my way home and just kinda broke down. I'm not really sure why. So, I took a cold shower and changed my clothes. I had a really big impulse to go shopping, which is one of my "fixes" when I'm feeling down. It doesn't really fix anything though. I tend to buy stuff just to buy. Anyway, I was about to go to the mall when I realized why I was going and that I didn't really need anything. Step one: learning what my symptoms are and recognizing how to work around them (and not spend unnecessary money) yayyy

Good job! I have the same problem with shopping. I go to Target way to much and buy things I really don't need. Six months ago I spent $200 on bed pillows. I did not need them, I just really wanted them. Recognizing the impulses and triggers of this illness are the hardest part of living with the illness. Meds are easy.

Good to know I'm not the only one!! Hopefully I will never spend $200 on bed pillows but if I do, I'll make sure and ask you if you need some :)And thank you so much for the encouragement. I am just starting to realize how hard it is.

Wow, that was awesome to catch yourself. I was diagnosed in my fourties but have been BP(bipolar) most of my life (I remember skipping school for fear of crowds, clothing issues etc. etc.). It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders, keep up the good work. Maria J.
