I know that everyone has their own idea of a "shopping spree". For some, this may be a couple hundred dollars; for others, this may be $20,000.
I typically spend about $1000 when hypo/manic, but I normally don't spend ANY money. I'll spend maybe $20 a week *max*, but averaging about $10 a week. (I live with my parents, so they buy all my food.) I mostly do impulsive shopping: I see something, then buy it 10 seconds later without a second thought.
What about you? What's the normal amount you spend a week, and what is your "manic" spending per week?

I love to spend...especially when manic. I love to vintage and second hand shop, which definitely helps when the money inhibitions go away during episodes. I can end up with lots of stuff for very little money that way. So that's a blessing.
