Impulse spending!

I spent 70 bucks on clothes tonight...and I'm probably Gonna spend another 100 tht was supposed to go to a bill. Gah...please tell me someone can relate?

I can. I have a new phone. Old phone was dropping call too often for my taste. I will have to not go out to eat for a few weeks to make up for it. Maybe more than that!

HAHA and how! Walk into the gun store and there sits one of these AR's everyone is talking about. I never wanted one, have no use for one, really can't afford one, yet somehow I absolutely must have it.

Long story short, I end up dropping $1700 on a firearm I'll probably never use for any practical purpose.

And the list of examples is endless...

you made me actually laugh outloud!

hmm... lots and lots and lots of bras... and I still owe my attorney some moolah. oops.

...eBay.

I drop $20 on sushi when I could get a salad for $6. Does that count?

yes eBay... of course !!!!!!

Totally can relate. Ive got a ton of crafting supplies and I always want to buy more!

I do what my son-in-law (whose own mother has BP) calls "bipolar shopping". I've spent as much as $1000 in Wal-Mart. I've driven us into bankruptcy not once, not twice, but THREE times. So can I relate? Yep, I think so too.

I only really like buying food and eating out at new places...

Eating out gets expensive. X_X

Has taken a lifetime of this to realize I have an addiction... mood altering by BUYING stuff. So yeah, you have plenty of company here! eBay for sure, oh yes. There's a certain rush, however mild or fleeting, that comes with making a purchase. Particularly if you THINK you've gotten a great deal, yes? Something about giving yourself "treats" because you've paid your dues and deserve the happiness?

I work in retail which is the worst, I'm at the mall all day! I impulsively shop, but I'm cheap about it.. So like ill only buy stuff that's on a good sale, with coupons or with my employee discount. I still have way too much stuff to know what to do with, and haven't been able to save as much $$ ad I would have liked concidering I have been living rent free with my parents my whole like. Things sure will have to change when I move out!

1 card,

1 amazon acount

need i say more

i do it all the time

I've been forced to "be good" cuz I shot my credit all to hell, only have one card now and it's secured. Sure do miss the days of free-spending! Of course there was never anything "free" about it. It all comes back to bite you in the arse!

I find that I may not spend a lot of money but I spend a lot of time at the store. I coupon so I can save like 60-80% whenever I got to the store but I find that I'm starting to buy things I don't need. Like Poise wash, when am I going to use that! I bought 3 cause it was free.......

I've been to the store almost every day this week... so Yes I can relate.

I buy books. Lots and lots of books.

I do know people who have bought cars and other high end stuff when manic.

There are times when I have urges to buy a one-way ticket to Europe.

Amazon is the best!

Bipolar shopping- It can ruin your life.

its easy when amazon.com's password is stored on your ipod....

I am doing Debt consolidation for the second time. When I became more reclusive, I started buying things online. My husband judges my cycles by how many packages show up at the door.

hypo~mania last Feb-May $8,000=disappeared!!! I was so EUPHORIC....got into way too much trouble......nothing could stop me. ( had NO idea what I was doing)

Deep dark depression June-Sept.

Why???? And I fight it I do believe me I try really hard and sometimes I end up just saying no for like months then BAM!!!! I spend thousands in two days or two hours. Ahhhh!!

I am a Rapid cycle type bipolar type 2 and I spend like I'm a millionaire or steal I have this obsession some days to just get up and go store to store and steal and buy its crazy but at the time I feel Freaking fantastic!!!!! Like a high of course till the bills come in and I then don't get out of bed for days.
