I guess one of the big things for me is if it is out of character for me to be spending the money. I just spent $80 on music on the Internet with very little thought when I don't usually buy music... That said I'm closer to depression than mania at the moment but maybe I'm a bit mixed cos I was having trouble relaxing and had rapid thoughts...

Do you usually buy jewellery or perfumes? Would you usually spend longer thinking before spending money?
