i think i spend more when im depressed. I think it will make me feel better to buy fresh flowers and good candles and new clothes for the boys etc but it never does. When im manic my hubby keeps a close eye on what im spending but when im depressed he wants me to be happy so if i say baby those flowers will make me feel better than he lets my buy them. My money is so closely gaurded by my husband that when Iwent to the store to buy feminine products and shampoo and conditioner on my lunch break he said I went on a spending spree. lol man I wish he would let me go on a real spree. but then our bills wouldnt be paid. So i guess it works out best this way.
