I'm the same way with money. Except way worse. I spend and spend and spend and then I'm just like "What kind of freaking person goes and spends money like THAT in *insert time period*!!?" then I get upset...then I go to B&N if I can and get a $5 frap that I really don't need and...call it retail therapy. And it just goes on...It's a... crap, I can't think of the word.
Recurring spiral. I'll settle for that though I'm positive there's a word for where you do something that leads to something else that leads you back to the original something you did and you repeat the circle...
I hope things will get better for you, Dru. Making enough money to actually live and not survive I like that a lot and completely agree with you. I hope for the best and good luck with getting that job! :-)
At least it wasn't 30 mp3 albums on Amazon (more than once). That was really bad.
You can say it was necessary since it was food and try to make yourself feel better. I can't do that with my...problem.
