Am I experiencing mania?

I have sza depressive type. I am wondering if I may not be bipolar though. I get into moods where I feel like I can conquer the world and end up spending a crap ton of money on stupid things. I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve spent thousands of dollars on a video game when I experience these episodes and I buy other stuff that I dont need. I havent told my pdoc because I’ve been so embarrassed, but I think I need to.

I should also add that the spending is compulsive I rarely think about what I’m doing when I do it.

It could be mania or might not be. Run it by your pdoc next visit

I’ve never been manic or even hypomanic, but based on what I’ve read on here, you are experiencing some symptoms of mania. Best to tell your pdoc and see what they say. Good luck to you! I hope you get your mood symptoms sorted out. :heart:

@Squanchy, Yes, you need to tell your pdoc about your spending binges. You might be sza bipolar type.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I’ll tell her when I see her in a few weeks, in the meantime I’m going to give my card to my mom so I dont spend anymore.
