I might be wrong but I think Jennifer has mentioned having a mixed state which probably qualified her. Not pure mania but in the family.

Regarding this money program, it's very interesting. My spending hasn't been good but much better than in the past. Much of it has to do with not having money to spend ......now I need to get smart and figuring out how to get out of debt. I think I need to find something with a low interest rate and consolidate to
Start. I need to get smart about getting out of debt because at my current rate I will never get out of it. I have some ideas on ways to help, I just need to stay well enough long enough to implement them. I might check out the website for ideas ......I just get so confused so trying to keep it simple which I've developed a plan for so we'll see.

Debt is a prison. I've been out of it several times and vow never to go back there but just keep failing. It's like a diet and gaining all the weight back pattern. The trick is keeping it off, or staying out of debt. I swear if I can get out this time I might join debters anonymous or some support group to be held accountable to weekly. I need to write myself letters while I'm not feeling all spendy to remind myself of my values on this situation. *sigh*

My Brietling was a purchase made with part of my first bonus from one of my jobs. I'm going to pass it down to my firstborn son, probably when he graduates from college. It was purchased the year he was born.
Passing it to your son is a beautiful thought.

The Carrera was not so much manic as just something I liked alot.

I didn't mean to sound rude, I was just curious. I hope that didn't come across wrong. Sorry if it did.

With bipolar type 2 some of us never reach that point of clinically defined mania, with delusions, and inability to control behavior. We have mixed states of depression and mania at the same time or hypomanic episodes, which means not quite manic.

I'm sorry, but to me any site that asks for your credit card information is just exacerbating the spending problem. If you are trying to stop spending, or even worse, are spending out of control, this just seems like one more expenditure that you really shouldn't be making.
