Do you have problems with spending too much money ALL THE TIME, or is it only when you're manic?

It's listed as an impulsive manic behavior, but I swear I can't control my spending no matter how I'm feeling. It's not as bad now as it used to be, but for example - I took out $50 bucks on Friday, and there's less than $5 bucks left in my purse today. That was supposed to last me a whole week, not a day & a half!

I'm not manic right now, I'm really not. So how do you explain this? And how do you STOP it?

We are so broke. We have nearly $75,000 in debt, thanks to me, and my new job doesn't pay worth crap. So why can't I control myself?

How do you get better control over spending your money?
