Decades ago , didn’t know i had Bipolar , I worked like a dog and if I saw something I wanted I bought it, I decided on my lunch break at work one day I was going to go buy a new car after work, mine was fine ,, but I picked up my daughter who was 6 maybe 7 years old at the time...I walked to a line of cars and told her to pick out which she liked the best , yep came home with it.

Not all my spending was Bipolar , I just liked shopping. It was fun.

But life doesn’t always work out how you want, my husband and I are both on SSDI now.. so we literally have just enough to pay the bills. Sucks but I’ve learned to deal with it.

My daughter gave me a 50.00 gift card for Target for my birthday in February.. I spent at least a week looking online and putting stuff in my cart . Each day I’d look at it and deleted things and added others. I finally decided on stuff , I was so excited when it all came in the mail !

A very good friend sent me a 25.00 gift card for Amazon out of the blue a couple weeks ago because she knows I just never have money to buy something I just want that’s not a necessity. I spent days saving things on my list , deleting and adding. I finally decided and hell Im like a kid at Christmas so excited!!

I think shopping is fine if you have the money for it , but if bills are piling up then it’s a problem..

I know Amazon , Ebay and every other website selling something is loving there numbers right now. lol

Enjoy if you can
