Wonderful.Cheese Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I need some advice. I am about to buy a Fitbit just because it is on sale. It’s $120. I just spent $75 on new socks. You see, I’m going to get rid of all my old socks and have all new socks! How fabulous is that!? Amazing! But do I buy the Fitbit? It’s a wonder price! I have one already too. But not this nice of one. What do I do? Any help is greatly appreciated. I’m sorry if posting in the wrong forum. I’m manic I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverB Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) I wouldn't buy it if you already have one, it is not worth it (even if it is prettier). It is not a good idea to buy anything while manic... Or start 10000 projects, adopt numerous pets, ...

kittyloaf Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Don't do it cheese. It sounds like you may be manic? Can husband hide the credit cards until it passes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiaB Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Cheese, I don't think this is "manic ish ness", I believe it is full blown mania. I know it's alluring and feels amazing and you just want it to go on forever, but this doesn't end well. It just doesn't. Please try to absorb what we, as your friends who have witnessed your past cycles, are saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancesintherain Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) I’m concerned Cheese. Who can you tell about the mania? I know the pdoc nurse is not helpful. What about the after hours crisis people? can you distract yourself right now to avoid the spending? Like watch a movie or knit something?

Gearhead Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Chee, this is bad. Really bad. I know it feels good not to be depressed, but you are not in a good place right now. Spending all this money is going to have long-term repercussions, and when you come down, the crash is going to be awful. Can you call your GP? I know your pdoc is bad about getting back to you, but you have to do something to stop this as fast as you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikl_pls Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I second calling GP. They can help in the interim between pdoc appointments to get you squared away if something is going wrong. Your GP could prescribe you something to take in conjunction with the Rexulti, or raise your Rexulti dose to 3 mg or something. Please be safe, and please take action as soon as possible.

saintalto Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Third vote for calling the GP. The moment the office opens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugarsugar Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Been there, so know that no matter how good it feels now, it needs to end. Maybe call the first, and have a backup to call the next alternative? Please make a call before things spiral worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyRedhead Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I agree with others to at least contact pdoc and let her know what's going on...I'm worried about you, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gearhead Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Cheese, argh has a good point. The longer this goes on, the worse the crash is going to be. Whether you want to think about it now or not, you know this is a mood episode. Please take steps to get it under control. I’m very worried about you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderful.Cheese Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 I will tell my pdoc on Friday when I see her. I don’t know how to go about telling her. I do not want any med changes. I don’t know what to say really to my pdoc. Any ideas anyone? I could sure use the help. Thanks much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderful.Cheese Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 Now I’m picking up all the pieces of overspending and it’s brutal. The aftermath of mania. Not fun. Not fun at all. At least no crash yet. Just guilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugarsugar Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I’ve spent so much when manic, such regrets, so I’ve been there. Remember you did ask for help and it is part of mania, not some character flaw, at least it helps me to remember those things. Glad you’re coming out of it now.
