Question: How can I stop myself spending too much money!? I seem to be on a spending high (im bipolar)!?
Answers:
During my first manic episode I spent $1000 (and I'm a student so that's VERY bad)!. The only thing that stopped me from spending too much money was calling my bank and suspending the credit card (and making it so that I had to walk back into the bank to reactivate it so I couldn't do it over the phone) and then giving my atm cards to my best friend!. I still had the urge to spend money of course, but I had no money to spend! This is definitely a short term solution and can be a long term solution to!. I still don't have a credit card and I don't spend any money!. Though it does suck when I do need to spend money to ask for my card back, but it makes sure that I only spend money on important things!. After you do this though, you still need to get on medication because that can help stop the urge to spend money in the first place!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am not sure if the "I'm bipolar" part was a statement or part of the question!.
If you are bipolar then you need to talk to your Dr!. and make sure your meds are right!.
If you are asking then you still need to talk to a Dr!.
You cannot diagnose bipolar disorder over the internet!.
We all can have slightly manic or depressive periods that does not mean that we are bipolar!.
However, if you have little to no control over your emotions that control your actions you need to see a Dr!. for a correct diagnosis!.
Good luck to you!Www@Answer-Health@Com
