I've been spending a lot since the beginning of September. I know I shouldn't, but I keep putting it on credit cards. I did have some cash, but still. I spent over $1,270 from Sept 1-9th. I spent around $560 yesterday alone (got my partner a pricey b-day gift amongst other things) and again over $1,250 since September 29 (I just realized! Didn't seem that high in my head). Some of it was school/tuition related and other necessities like gas but only about less than $400. I also loaned my partner $125 yesterday. I almost can't help myself these days. I've been manic since early August (or hypomanic) with a few days of depression here and there. To give you an idea of how much money each spree is for me, I only make $600 on average this year in a month!

So, as everyone has said, don't do it! The bills will catch up to me and they'll catch up to you. I buy things online too.

I don't know what to do. Once you start you almost can't stop, so keep on resisting!
