I have a hard time controlling impulses a lot. Like last night a friend offered me some cocaine and instead of saying no(i dont even like the drug) i said sure cause hey its free. Or if i see something on ebay really cheap(500 cheap things become expensive) i have a hard time not justifying it in my head. I realize at the time that its wrong so its not that,, i just end up talking myself into the stupid act or i do it without thinking it thru. I could probably make a list the length of a highway if i bothered to think of all the times ive just had an impulsive thought and went with it. If i know its wrong and i know its an act or behavior i dont want to do then whats the problem? Should be an easy decision. Not so apparently for me. Im not even sure what im asking here, assuming the following of impulses is a symptom of mental illness and not just stupidity what are things i can do to make sure i make the right decisions?
