I don't think that spending sprees necessarily indicate hypo/mania --simply because if this were the case, a heck of a lot more people would be diagnosed with it. Of course there are a lot of people out there who overspend, for any number of reasons. Impulsiveness, coping mechanism, just because...
I wouldn't worry about it, unless you're really putting yourself in financial trouble. If you're concerned it is an episode, I would look at whatever else is going on with you, other 'symptoms' that have coincided with this. Spending a lot alone could be any number of things, including just fun  You've actually seemed to be pretty stable lately, so do you really think you've been that unstable for a whole month?
Some people on here have previously given lots of good advice on how to control spending regarding credit cards and the like -lots of great suggestions about that on here.
Hopefully, you were just being somewhat impulsive and nothing more. I'd try not to worry about it for the moment
