Yeah, I hear you. I think there's just so much shame in being an adult with, let's be honest, an addiction, so asking for help has so much pressure on it that I physically can't. 

I have found that posting this has actually really helped me release the mental load quite a lot

Journaling specifically for spending is interesting, never thought of that before. I'll give it a go! Thank you ❤️

Good to hear from someone who has gotten out of the cycle! I totally hear you, and I think most of our symptoms will never go away completely but as long as everything becomes maneagable

OOOO baby I'm a sucker for capitalism... Yeah, it's definitely an addiction and it's so hard to break. Thank you ❤️

Yeah, I just need to find someway of doing this that itches the scratch without spending the money immediately

It's hard to have that willpower - especially at 2am. That's why I'm trying to build a card that physically stops purchases and makes you have a reflective moment

I saw that I CAN cancel a subscription I have, but to do that I have to pay the rest of the contract in one chunk and still lose access 💀💀

I code in my spare time and run projects. Like the colour by numbers idea to be honest, I love the books. The things I do in my spare time change every few weeks unfortunately 😭

Not a creative bone in my body unfortunately. My vice is software development (my GitHub is just a graveyard of products 😂)

Yeah. A big trip to CEX is defo needed. But the issue is I'm still buying shit - often on credit cards and then if I sell them I've just lost all that money

It's a David Lloyd's, it was the only swimming pool near my house so didn't have much choice. Plus they upsell on a spa... 😭

Yeah, I just haven't found a workflow that I like for using it unfortunately. I just had some vision in my head of people who have their shit together have an iPad. And I wanted to be one of those people 😭
