Hi
@larryganz, I will keep that in mind once the appointment comes up.
I jumped to a conclusion over the weekend that I might have bipolar, however it turned out that having an all-nighter does trigger a sense of euphoria and productivity the following morning.
The so-called sense of wanting to do new, exciting and impulsive things - I know it all too well. And as mentioned before, it can lead to financial and real trouble, as much as I don't want to say it.
When it came out, I wanted a Lord of the Rings DVD. I didn't have enough money, so I stole it from my parents. Impulsive, yes, and my dad proceeded to destroy this DVD by snapping it in half in front of me while I stood in a corner pinching and pulling my ears.
When I got my first credit card, the first time I used it was paying for flights to a bodybuilding competition. The preparation for that had cost me most of my savings. Of course at the time I also struggled with body image, and my trainer made me feel like an outsider when I put on 10 kilograms in a week post-show...now that I mention it, once I got too bogged down mentally and physically at my recent job, my manager also became cold towards me. I do struggle to have considerations for others.
I got over that hill, and built savings for the next few years...only for me to buy a laptop during my holiday and proceed to drain my bank balances. Again.
Another couple of years rolled by, and I had savings! I decided to use it to pay for business class airfares and used my credit card to pay for an extra tour.
I had paid off my credit card when I met my second ex. We signed up for another credit card each. Love and a false sense of pride means I've paid off that card once and am about to again. The first credit card is next on the list.
I recently had a heap of savings and plan to pay off my credit cards (which is still going well.) And what do you know, I was tempted by an Omega...
Watches have definitely landed me in a pickle on and off. I do have to ask myself at times whether it is a true hobby or something that, like the gym and games, are constant comforts. Selling and consolidating watches is important when you have bills to pay. And it is
hard to do something when you
need to do it rather than when it is a secondary
optional task. That said, these last couple of weeks have been much better in terms of sorting my times out and getting a routine/diet going...now I just need to work on my consolidation efforts.
I am grateful for everyone's experiences and if there is some way that I can repay the favour, please let me know.
