Well, ok, it is fun. And, it isn't just bipolar folks, a lot of people have an addiction to overspending and to "stuff". I know a lot of people who have gotten themselves in trouble by spending on frivolity, both financial trouble and relationship trouble with spouses, etc.

It's fun, but it's not healthy. I wonder if part of it is the feeling that depression will come back when the high is over, and hey, "I might off myself, so why not spend it now." I was like that.
