Most of my impulsivity is self-harm or screaming at people. I'm working on learning mindfulness to just maybe lay down and clear my mind and turn my attention elsewhere. It's a work in progress. I'm still learning. This is typically when I'm mixed.
For shopping related impulsivity, I do what a lot of people are doing. I stop and make myself wait several days to see if I still want it. One of my big impulse buys can be books. For that one, I allow myself to go "shopping" at the library.
