6 months months ago I was manic and bought a new car without my husbands consent, almost on a whim.( this is the second time that I did this) It was like I could not help myself out of the situation. I had to have that car., was excited with the idea of having it. went thru all of the paperwork and drove it home almost getting into a car accident because it has a huge blind spot. I went in the next day sober so to speak and insisted that they take this car back that I hated. After many people they took the car back and I got my old car back whew!
scared me straight out of my mania...which I experienced because I had been drinking so much that my meds were no longer working...that is the only explanation for my mania.I told my pdoc how much I had been drinking and she scared me straight, did not have a drink in 3 months. Then the holidays came and I started drinking again then new years and hubbies hip and then my cruise....all drinking activities. So now I must reel it in again. my mania cantransition into psychosis, delusions and hallucinations if not for my meds, very scarey. SSRI's can do this to me as well.
Being hypomanic or manic gets me into trouble. No I don't like it at all. I say things that get me into trouble I do things that get me into trouble...how can that be good? But I am 50 and older than she so perhaps I am more aware...but I still bought that car so was out of control.
