I think I’m buying things out of depression

[LookingUpFinally]

Yeah, it’s pretty common. I’m sorry that you’re going through a sad time

Is it sort of like a feeling of emptiness, that you’re trying to fill?

If so, in my case I try to fill it with intellectual and creative ideas. It’s about generating a sense of peace and wonder within oneself and connecting with one’s inner strength

[OafFish]

Socialization I think, I keep buying things that would be fun to use and share. Kind of feathering the nest.

[LookingUpFinally]

That’s cool then if there’s a plan for what you’re buying

It’s nice to have nice things

I have been buying a lot of stuff that I think I need lately. Just ordering random things on Amazon.

I don't know if that's my mania popping up again, or just being prepared for the things I need.

I feel you my friend, I know what this is like!

[OafFish]

I keep thinking of the dialog from Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, about how people desperately buy things.

I like the stuff I have but I’d like it better sharing. I feel like a pharaoh living in his tomb
