BP1 here with a few delusional episodes. When I am hypo/manic I have a thirst for adventure - which is expensive and fuels a massive spending spree ($100,000 in 10mos). Things like a jeep, world travel, adventure tours, and repetitive thrill seeking behaviour. I never felt regret during this period of my life which only fuelled more spending.
And, I don't recall a single person questioning my spending - in fact I found I was surrounded by people eager to be part of the ride - which I funded.
I just can't control my spending. As soon as I have it I spend it. I ALWAYS come up with a justification for the purchases.
