Yes, not money problems in the ususal sense, but that I have been spending WAY TOO MUCH MONEY and I knew it and didn't do anything about it. I got an email yesterday from my dad asking me to explain just why and how I spent over £600 in the last month, and £120 in just three days at one point. It's a lot of money in anyone's currency . Yes, I'm a student and I've earned the money from my part-time job but the money is supposed to pay for uni stuff. And also, I don't *really* know what I've spent it on. I do know I soent some on my friend's birthday, and visiting her, and things like that. And I payed for a piercing which would have appeared on the bank statement (£25). And I bought some new clothes for my friend's birthday and for general (£50 at one go, I was surprised when I got to the till and it came up as that because I hadn't realized it had come up to that price)... abd I bought some make up too. Also I've bought food (that I haven't even eaten haha). But I still don't quite see where I've spent £600. The stuff I've boguht hasn't even been expensive. Cheap shops and the like (been brought up well by my aunt ) It's just all added up

I'm just so angry with myself that I've spent so much, it's like a third of all the money I had in my bank account. I've only ever spent in a similar way to this before, when I was very depressed a couple of years ago, but it still wasn't this level of spending, and this time I don't have the excuse of depression because I haven't felt depressed. last time I was in hospital when he wanted to know what I'd spent the money on, and didn't believe me when I said I didn't know (which was a truthful answer, like this time round) and he searched my room without my knowledeg looking for drugs, which I have never even done . It hurt so much that he thought I was doing that but i suppose it would have been a logical thought for him. I'm afraid he'll think the same this time too and might not believe me with it happening again .
