This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Christmas is here again and I am being overwhelmed by my syndrome of "What a Guy!"
What that is, is when I buy people gifts I spend a fortune on them, even if I am a peasant and broke. I must do it because I really want to hear that, "What a Guy!" statment.
I am especially bad with my family, my extended family, who buy me almost nothing. Yet, I go out and try to find that stupid gift that gets the eyes going. And on occassion I will hear that statement again. "What a Guy!"
It's great until I get my credit card bill, which usually throws me into a deep depression and into debt that takes years to get out of.
Do you buy gifts this way? How do you buy your gifts for extended family, friends, strangers, and the homeless? Do you get manic while doing this? It is better than illegal drugs for a high?
