Yup all the time! I have a horrid shopping problem so it definitely does not help.

I have a shopping problem. A caffeine problem. I will get addicted to the next new thing, be consumed by it obsessively, then move on to the next big thing

meee i have a very addictive personality! it could also be part of the 'tism too /lh

I have always been extremely impulsive to the point I would hurt myself if I was thinking it. I have learned I don't let myself go shopping with out a list. I allow my self 1 or 2 items off the list but I can't go over the limit I set myself at first it's easier to do 5 and work your way down. I still fulfill that urge without breaking the bank.

Grocery lists help me too! I also have literally gone to thrift stores (my personal guilty pleasure) and picked out a bunch of shit and just put it all back. I have also been trying to check my bank account more often lmao

Yup! But I was also blamed on being bipolar, so I’ve been trying to be medicated with both. No luck

Yep constantly but none of the medications work for me so I just have to cope

Even when I’m medicated- if my adhd and my anxiety get to messing around they will spend my money like that *snaps fingers*

Omg....yes. I used to find myself at Walmart in the middle of the night with a cart of $200+ random junk that I din't need to buy and hours into shopping ...it was awful to wake up to the next day and I would never return anything. It's terrible, but I learned that I had to just abandon the cart when I would have a split second of coming to my senses. This was well before being medicated. I never impulse buy like this anymore, and I can't believe I used to blow my paychecks so fast on junk I really didnt care much to have. I'm so much more thoughtful about my spending now and actually having a savings.

So true! For me, this was definitely back when online shopping was really a thing yet....but you just reminded me that when I take my meds too early and stay up too late, the meds wear off and I have had moments of online purc hasing. I have a rule that I'm allowed to add to cart, but not allowed to purchase it until morning. And if I really need it, which I never do, I'll just buy it then. Every time I forget until I see my browser history lol.

I haven’t had the chance to get medicine for my adhd and honestly I got a shopping habit as well. I would buy a lot of weed and maybe one cartridge and have trouble saving up for stuff, like car repairs and stuff.

yup, i feel like i need a change asap or i might just quite literally lose my mind
