my first brand new car buy was 2 years ago was out of mania and was in debt and couldn't afford the payments.

Today feeling down I had the thought to go buy a car, I test drove it and the idea of owning it made me feel better, I was ready to write the check until I didn't like one minor feature...Salesmen got pissed and tried to let me stew for a few minutes twice.

I'm also in the process of buying a house.

I only feel good when I eat or buy things

I have money now but life isn't any better, I wish I was manic

I have been having a bad depressive bout. I started taking omega 3, three weeks ago and I am starting to notice I am less suicidal and depressed. Only time will tell though since my mood changes frequently.

The the impulse buy feature is not what's it's made out to be... the buy is a high... but it runs out and then your hit with the guilt and stress of your purchase... just my opinion

Oh be very careful when diving into a car ... way long forever never ending payments.

I saw you mention your house is pretty much empty .. What about shopping for some things for the house? maybe some art work for the walls ? kitchen items ? furniture ? etc.. Smaller purchases that may lift that spirit of yours.

I have purchased four pipes for smoking in one month. This added up to $1000. Insane. Why do I need four pipes? Why do they have to be $250 a piece when I can get a corncob pipe for $6 at Walgreens drug store. This is after I purchased an amplifier for my expensive headphones, both together for another $1000. All of these purchases made me feel good. But my bank account is now down to $100 for the rest of the month. What will my next purchase be?

I kinda crashed, I didn't buy the car, I have a new car, I was being unreasonable.

this empty house does bother me, I'll use the car money to make it nice
