We all know some of us struggle with being impulsive. What are some of the impulsive things you have done.

I use to be very conservative prior to my bipolar onset. I was diagnosed (8/12) started meds. I stopped taking lithium (5/13). I had my lip eyebrow and tongue pieced (6/13). Then got two tattoos (7/13). When I'm stressed I want to shop. I purchased a $275 purse during Xmas, I buy clothes lots of clothes. Then I bought a new IPhone and of course I had to have a "few" new phone cases and I bought a $300 ring. Oh I have no job (12/13). I bought all these things with my savings that I'm living off of. I got stressed again two weeks again so I got my chin pierced (2/14). At first it seemed as though lithium really slows down my impulsiveness. I currently take three mood stabilizers and I'm back at fighting impulsiveness. My impulsive behavior has always been shopping. The piercing and tattoos are very new.
