Sort of. I tend to have a hoarding mechanism that goes off when I am in the beginning stages of a high/mixed mood. I tend to be attracted to things I deem to be like treasures (such as crystals, gemstones, jewelry, minerals, etc) or luxuries (essential oils, soaps, cosmetics, clothes, etc).

I've gotten it under control at this point in my life, but it used to be really bad. I once bought about 300 bars of handmade soaps during one of my spending-spree hoarding phases, and then fell into a depression so that I never showered anyway. Another time I bought about $700 worth of fetish leather apparel from the UK that I could never wear in public, and I didn't even have a partner. It wound up just collecting dust until I donated it to Goodwill years later for the lulz.
Thanks for this!
