When I well I obsessively look at holidays. Does anybody else do this?

I’m feeling really good at the moment - I’ve had over a year feeling anhedonic and now feel good. When I’m well I’m constantly looking at holidays and wanting to book them, this year I’ve booked 4 days in Wales and 1 week in Edinburgh, these are paid for and am looking to book Crete in Greece in September then Sri Lanka in December. I feel really enthusiastic about it. I get enjoyment from booking holidays, I know that sounds crazy?

Then my mood turns and I don’t want to go on them. I become very apathetic and anhedonic. Feel no enjoyment from things. I’ve wasted thousands on holidays by not going on them.

I think what is going to make me go on theses ones if that fact I’m going with my friend I live in supported living with, he’ll be the encouragement for me to go as I don’t want to let him down…

Does anybody else become very enthusiastic about things when feeling well, kinda like you’re making up for lost time?

I make plans for events in the Quad Cities

typically a free event

but sometimes I end up not feeling like going

that’s why I need my son with me

and most of these things Phil doesn’t want to do.

I look at vacations (as we call them here in the states) but I never book because I have a paralyzing fear of plans falling through. I hate planning things more than a week in advance.
