It seems to me that you're just a smart consumer. I don't do enough research before I buy things and the impulse takes me over when I should be weighing pros and cons of my purchasing decision. Unless you're overspending, it's still within normal range(I'm using the term very loosely), but that's just my opinion.

I noticed that I have a spending cycle long-term. (mostly on non medicated period). I buy necessities and everything else that I can think of at that time. I buy back up of things(less need for research) and I feel like I have all the money to get whatever I want. At the end of my last online buying period, I was running out of things to buy and I thought I found this new interest. Then I was overspending. I was talking about this to my (useless) pdoc and I was being medicated during that period. I wonder if the medication was working against me somehow. Looking back, this is the first time I realized my own hypo state.

Thanks for posting this thread. I've learnt a few things here. I buy things whether I feel up or down. It could compromise me at any time if I don't keep those in check. It's hard to distinguish between normal/personal trait and my bp. I still yet haven't found out when my bp started, but that's another story.

Just my 2 cents.
