It happens in so many ways. I'm usually not an impulsive spender but I spent hours the other night trying to figure out how to tweak my budget to allow me to buy $45 of nail wraps......and I only ever do my toenails, making that a HUGE amount of wraps, especially since my ability to wear anything but sneakers until next summer when my ankle is more healed from my reconstruction surgery. I think $45 of wraps that nobody could see would be a waste but I was totally fixated on it. In fact I have to re-do my budget to put that money back on bills where it belongs. When mania strikes it makes no sense whatsoever sometimes but when it hits something a lot closer to home than my ridiculous must have lovely hidden toenails (like your music) it's just a lot harder to figure out where baseline is and where the excess of mania has taken over.
This disease is just not pretty. I have GERD and it is increased by my Seroquel dose. Last year I had trouble and my nexium dose was increased to twice a day. Now I'm having issues again and I know there isn't any other med that can help and I don't want to be referred to a GI dr for a scope when I know what the problem is. So complaining about this to someone yesterday led to hearing about an OTC natural thing that is not very good tasting but it helped immediately. If only bipolar was so easy.....I'd drink a lot more of a nasty liquid than I am for the GI issue if it would only make the bipolar disappear.

Yeah, he REALLY let me down. The thing is, I saw him from age 15 - 20 and twice over the last 3 years. I have quite a history with him and I really like him a lot. It makes me sad to think of leaving him for good.
It is sometimes very hard to figure out the difference between baseline and mania. I think if there is a clear lack of sleep, I am agitated, and euphoric for a few days at a time it becomes obvious to me. There are apparently other symptoms to my family. My husband even says my damn pupils dilate and are huge. That is his first sign, he swears
That's kind of funny about your nail wraps, poor Jen!

I'm so sorry to hear about your GERD but I'm glad you found an OTC remedy for you GI issues. I hear you and I understand you about wishing for an easy cure. I pray for one!
