Spending!

Hey, haven't been on in a while. Lately I've kind of been all over the place. I'm in cosmetology school now. I didn't have my meds for like a week once and i was having really bad withdrawal symptoms. Any ways lately I've been obsessed with ways to make money and wanting to buy so much. I bought a $99 trolley for school which is ok i guess but today i spent like $100 on lipsticks. Some of the negative thoughts have been seeping back in too. Every time my husband makes me mad i just want to go online and buy a bunch of stuff. I have a therapy visit tomorrow and I'll make sure bring this all up. As of now I'm only on an antidepressant sertraline 50mg.

gosh... i can relate.... i remember spending hundreds on books.... i went to a bookstore once, and i didnt even have a book i wanted in mind... usually, when u go to a store u know what u want.... at this time, i knew what i was doing... i was already aware because i did this before... the whole spending thing....

so... im at the store and think, maybe i should get this one book i had in mind back then.... i pick it up but stop myself.... i think about it for like 10-20 minutes, then just leave... i go home, a day later i check my bookcase, and it was there... i had already bought it a long time ago... and i didnt even know.....

ive bought duplicates a few times already, so thats when it really hit me to find the source of this and how i could control myself better.... learned my triggers, learned how to cope, learned how to stop myself.. that was almost a year ago, so ive only really bought a book maybe once or twice now... and of course, i read them..

Omg I have really had this lately. I bought SO MUCH STUFF. Not cheap stuff either. We are talking phones, laptops, tablets, things that can really get me into debt. I have really outdone myself this time. However, I did get a handle on it, but wow, it really took me by storm.

If you figured out how to stop spending, please let us know.

My spending seems to be coming to an end for this year, I've lost interest in spending somehow, the damage has done though..

I usually have spending issues when I'm depressed, and it's been hitting me pretty hard lately too. I'm really trying not to spend any money because I'm already in debt, but it's hard... I don't know why, but just the process of shopping for things makes me feel better temporarily.

it's certainly a thing i have when mannic.

amazon is my best friend- and i can spend litirally loads of money in just 1 day (and then when i want something, no money left!).

had that a lot of time.. i wanted a cd or something, but spent all my money on angel posters and statues of ships and loads of other stuff i don't need.. and then wonder what to do with it all

i've just finished my christmas list (yes i know we're only in august!). my idea is to buy a few things from the list every week leading up to christmas (because i deserve a break from the rough year i've had), but i think i'm going to end up just getting everything at once

1 time i insisted i was going to buy 50 footballs and a cake.

no particular reason... i just wanted it

dunno why, but bouncy balls are always a trigger for me- if something's going to happen, you can garantee that it has something to do with a ball so people try to keep them away from me.. which is strange because i've never had any reasons to have a ball as a trigger... um i'll shut up about balls now lol

Well, still spending or thinking about it. I ordered some more makeup stuff the other day from elf. It was 50% off so i had to. I also keep going on websites and putting things into carts not buying it though. I can't help it. It just happens. I keep thinking i need things or my kids need things. Like a new bed or new car seat or shoes and coats because it's getting cold soon.
