Example is I tried to crochet a blanket for every single member of my family. Picked out the yarn for all of them. I finished 3 out of 30.
Spending money on needs/wants normally: I go and get the things we need and then I still have enough for groceries and bills.
Spending money during mania = We've got a lot of cool stuff! Now what do we eat for the next 2 weeks?  Oh, and the bank account is overdrawn, too! Oh crap! Let's go pawn some things so we get by..... >.< |
I have a lot of projects started right now but I'm not worried that I'm hypo at all because I've been sleeping normally.
I have at points had to tell my dad not to send me money because I would spend it on stupid stuff. And normally I have my emergency fund for myself that I won't touch unless I absolutely have to. I get really badly hypo (not technically manic), all that security is out the window.
