Sometimes when I get depressed I buy things I don't need or really want like its going out of style. I think its the slight satisfaction of bringing something new into my life that lifts me out of the dumps for a little bit. That being said, I don't spend thousands of dollars, maybe a couple hundred. It seriously doesnt help that I have ebay at my fingertips!
So I have been really depressed lately and moving to a new town has only added circumstantial depression to my chemical disorder. I have been looking at motorcycles all year long, trying to find one in decent condition and well priced. I found one that is clean and the price isn't too bad, but I am less than thrilled about purchasing it. When I first saw it I was doing cartwheels, but now I'm wondering if I only want to buy it because purchasing will temporarily alleviate my emotional troubles. 6K+ is alot to throw away! I feel conflicted. One minute I am so sure I want to buy it, and the next minute I'm hesitating because I can't make sense of my own damn emotions.
Those of you who also spend when your depressed...How do you tell the difference between something you truly want and something that soothes your emotional pain?
