I've been on hypomania-fueled spending sprees too. I also have good credit and have a comfortable income and just feel the desire to indulge myself by buying whatever i want. I have to start thinking about retirement tho as i'm 50 and on disability benefits with no pension fund. The last two Springs i've been on renovation manias but thankfully didn't get out of the planning stages. This Spring my hypomania is no where to be found so hopefully i will skip it.
What about diverting yourself with some other activity? I guess with no legs it's a challenge. I play competitive Scrabble online -- something like that? A good memory is a big advantage in Scrabble. I play at a club and there's a guy in a wheel chair there too. You can play chess online too. Or doing some kind of art -- painting, for example. There's reading, too. Netflix.
It sounds like you've got a serious problem with the compulsive shopping. It's really important to find a solution. Shopping is such a soulless activity.
