Do any of you spend a whole lot of money when your one a high? Do you spend a lot and not realize how much until you come down? I spend bad on highs, and i realize how much to late.

My husband goes nuts when my credit card bill comes in, and
I seem to justify the money I spend, horse shops are the worst, there is always something new the horse needs. Also sales, another spending trap, I wouldn't say I go outta control just I have so much fun!!!!:))

I've been at this long enough so that I still maintain spending limits. I want to be able to pay my bills so I watch it. Of course I haven't had a psychotic mania for many years, but even getting to feel a little good can be dangerous. I used to spend ad run up lots of credit but now I've declared bankruptcy and have no credit. If we can control the highs and learn to manage ourselves we can avoid those financial troubles that are so depressing!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
