Even if it means I eventually land up with ten boxes of pasta in the cupboard.

There is no logical filter when I go through these phases.
Yeah, this is me too.

I agree that a lot of people overspend, not just people with BP, but in my case at least there is clearly a pattern for me that I buy ridiculous, unnecessary things and never think about the price ONLY when I am hypomanic or manic. At other times, I am very careful with money, and I am horrified by what I realise I have bought when I am having an episode.
