It does sound like you have a compulsion to buy... and your favorite item is a cellular phone. I'm sure if you talk with a supervisor and share your dilemma with them, asking for contract cancelling and maybe a block on OTC buying they might consider. I'm sure that your T can help you put up hoops to jump through before you "allow" yourself to purchase another one. But, yes, bite that bullet and get out of those contracts. You have 30 days usually to return a phone before the contract is bindable. (I know, I just returned one after 25 days...and cancelled contract, no charge.)

Have you tried collecting phones instead? Is there something about the active telephone that creates some of the compulsion? Maybe you also have some inner fear of not being able to be in instant touch with...someone?

Another thought... you mentioned your dad. I think that's relevant. When you are depressed, do you miss your dad more, and want to connect to him somehow?

You are beginning to heal from this...just by sharing.
