Hey, yes, I understand it. To a certain extent I have the same type of problem. Just curious...are you bipolar? I am and the doc said that the shopping and overspending is a symptom of my bipolar. Is this something that you spend money that's supposed to be for bills on, or is it a save up thing? I'm guessing it's a spur of the moment. I know if I had the chance, I'd be buying up those things, too, but for me, I always have wanted to have complete collections of things. Especially books. I love books. But, I'm not spending on books right now, I've hit electronics. It's easier to hide than books. Although I do get electronic books, actual books with paper are my favorite. Anyway (forgive me, I'm rather scatterbrained today) I wish I could say that I've got a good solution for you. But I don't. Every solution I've tried has been a bad one or has been a catastrophe. The only thing that I've found that can curb and let me emphasize CURB, not get rid of, the urges to buy things is Seroquel XR. I hate the medicine...I've gained so much weight off of it, but after an abrupt wake up call, I'd rather be fat than hurt my husband anymore. Just so you know, I'm around, if you ever want to pm me! I hope it's eased up for you! Hugz, Zin First and foremost, I am NOT medical personnel! Anything I say is from my own experiences or opinions, and should never be considered to be medical advice.
