yes a new obsession ive kicked alot of those but lately ive been horrible about shopping. i know how i can be ... so most the time i wont even taKE my money or credit cards into the store cuz i cant hold back

Firstly i buy the stupidest things ... things i absoulty dont need. BUt i want everthing so bad ill impulsivily buy this .. buy that.

So the other day i went to the mall with 2 friends, had my credit cards and money... oh no.... and at first i was fine then i was like ok guys i gottta get outta here lets just head to the book store (where i wanted to go and thought would be a safer haven)

So i held back a while then i finally bought some cheap little thing that was onsale 6 dollars no big deal

Then when we eventually got to the book store i spent a wicked long time in there, i collected all sorts of books i wanted after a little while ... i was like damn i gotta go through these and just take what i really want ... so this whole process went on forever

in end i bought 7 books!!!! my god this is the most rare thing ive ever dont,, in fact ive never willingly spent money on books

it cost me 120 something dollars i was just damn get me outta here before i buy more!!! i want it all! alllllll!

at least it wasnt spent on something bad like drugs or lots of alcohol.,, yes!!!! that obsession has been replaced with compusivily buy booksssssss gezz i guess you cant have one without the other

the saying is you only ever replace one bad habbit with another. OCD and drugs can be dangerous combination, shinobi knows. Books are healthyer :) you just need to reed them all now.

Now this can be a sign for a good deal of things but what you MIGHT be experiencing is a manic episode (up end of bi-polar). Frequently, during a manic episode, people will spend way too much money and they can't stop. You could also just be a shopaholic which would be the more likely cause. Sometimes bi-polar and ADD can be misdiagnosed with eachother and it happens sometimes. It actually happened to me (said I was bi-polar and now they agree I am ADD) and also to my sisters best friend.

how did you find that out??? and what was the difference after u were diagnosed right and took the right med?
