Getting the car work done sounds more like fixing your busted car than any sort of manic behavior. Manic would be buying a brand new one because the old one was busted. I was in a Zoloft hypomania and bought a new minivan. Of course I had been talking about replacing my 20 year old car with a minivan for months, and my husband was agreeing with me. The most the hypomania did was make me a bit more aggressive with the price negotiations, which was probably healthy.

If you are worried about the spending on hobbies and such, just run them by the BF, or some other person whom you trust. Even when I am not hypomanic I obsess over hobbies and research stuff. I just don't actually buy things.

The fact that you are aware and watching your behavior is great. Hang in there!

I already have a 5 gallon (with a tiny puffer) but there's a puffer I want that actually needs 200 gallons or more. So I've just been obsessed with finding them on craigslist and ebay. And now... its after 1 a.m. and I'm still up watching tv- even repeats of shows that played earlier on the same channel. Oh- and this evening, after the kids and I got home, I couldn't stand any noise- playing the piano, computer, etc. All normal stuff that doesn't usually bother me. I took the kids out to a movie and ice cream and such. Just more than I usually do. Over all, it doesn't add up to much, but I just felt like I was spending a lot. I also got lots of $ lately from my ex so I got my car fixed and other things that needed doing on my car. I've tried to stop myself from spending and such but its so hard. And the weird thing is that my BF wanted lots of sex this weekend and I didn't really. Not like I had in the past when manic.
