February 23, 2022 Money, Money, Money: Spending in an episode
This weeks episode explores my spending habits when in an episode. A common trait that people may experience when in an episode (typically manic or hypo-manic) is their excessive spending. I have had my fair share of ridiculous purchases but from research and being aware of my Bipolar, been able to pin-point when I may be in an episode. I also touch on the different themes of spending people may fall into that researchers noticed. Reminder: These views and opinions are my own and include research.
