I think everyone has impulsiveness to all those things and more .But what it comes down to is with bipolar we are like a junkie getting are fix.I love to foods shop not because I need food in the house but I need to buy something new everyday to get my fix. At least with food somebody will eat it so its not a waste .I'm not proud to say that I even shoplift anything weather I need it or not its just a rush i even go back later and but it back sometimes.
