Want is a need vs. a want? Do I need new glasses? or do I just want new glasses. How does the fact that it's been 7 years since my last pair figure into this? Does it matter that I feel guilty when I spend money, that I've been struggling with employment since graduating from college 7 years ago. Does it matter that things are blurry? Should I just deal with it. What about my "mattress"? The $10 piece of foam I've been sleeping on for the past year and a half. Is that a need or a want. Is it a matter self-care or is it a matter of excessive spending? What about my clothes that don't fit quite right and have holes in them. Need or want? How do I face the guilt of buying new things when I've got so much student loan debt that it feel I'll never get out. How do I look for a new job that could be a step up from my two low wage jobs. Is sleep a need or a want. I dread the switch days. Working one job in the morning, sleeping for a few hours then going to my night shift job. It's hard on my body. I switch from day schedule to night schedule twice a week. Do I need a new job or just want a new job? I think I need a new winter jacket and winter clothes, so I can stay warm and comfortable during the winter. But I feel guilty when I think of buying these things. I have about 10 years of college education. I have skills I can put to use to find a new job, but I'm running around putting out little fires. The guilt from spending money, the depression, the trying but not seeing results. My self efficacy is low.
