I'm not the only one!!!

I'm really pleased to find your group. Today, after several days of anxiety eroding my stomach lining, I admitted to myself that I have a behavioural addiction, and that I need help. I'm on a decent salary, but am broke and 10s of thousands in debt from spending money I dont have. My home is full of things I don't need and never use.
I've already been bankrupt once and I'm heading there again.
I have ADHD and so the triple whammy of poor decision making, no self regulation and craving dopamine.
It's making me miserable, ashamed and full of guilt. So, there being no time like the present, I've contacted Debtors Anonymous. #Debt #compulsivebuyingdisorder #ADHD #Anxiety #shopaholic #Shame #spending #Guilt

How do you manage impulsive spending habits, especially during the holidays? #CheckInWithMe

When it comes to the holidays and gift-giving, it’s incredibly easy for me to impulsively shop. Between my wanting to get the “perfect gift” for someone and dealing with my emotional and financial triggers, it can be challenging.

If you’re in a similar boat as I am, I’d love to know how you manage with impulsive spending habits — especially during the holidays.

One spending habit I can try to eliminate today is... #52SmallThings

We all have our habits when it comes to spending. Some of them are great for our wallets, and others we could probably do without. Maybe you have a habit of buying things simply because they’re a great deal but you don’t really need them. Or maybe you treat yourself a little too frequently. We want to know what spending habit you’re going to try to get rid of by finishing the sentence below:

Depression, Anxiety and Spending

I know I'm not doing too well mentally when I start to spend money like crazy on things I don't need, and that has happened a lot lately. I feel bad because I really can't afford to spend money on things I don't need despite recently getting a new job after having not had one for quite a while. This just means it's time for me to start journeling again and to go see my therapist again (it's been well over a month or so since I late saw her, and I don't remember the last time I journaled). What do you all do to try to get back in a healthy state of mind? Thank you and best wishes to all. #Depression #spending #Anxiety

Spending

Anyone else just spend in order to try and feel better? My credit card is $1300 right now and I have $3 in my bank account.
And I just got paid yesterday!
I don't know what to do to stop.
Clearly, I have no self control. #spending #money #
