So who loves ebay, especially when manic? I just went shopping and before I was done I had bid on over 20 items..... Now I am hoping that I get ourbid on most of them cause I just don't have the kind of money I could be laying out.....

I've never been able to figure eBay out so I totally gave up on it. One less problem for me!

Well, I was manic most of my 20's and shopped ebay constantly. I have 100% feedback from paying so fast and I also sold on ebay and did well. Made some good money. I still shop there. Bought two items from there this month. Now lets not even talk about Amazon!

If I win everything I am in for over $300..... and I only have $250 in the bank to get me through 2 weeks.... What did I bid on? Birkenstocks, two pairs, silver jewelry (actually I really love this piece so I do hope I get it), scarves, dollhouse stuff ( but I haven't even built the dollhouse yet), Stocking holders.... like I really need those now, plates that match my set even though I have a full set, 2 new (antique) doorknobs for my old house, a thermometer for outside, books and CD's....

Seriously, I am now at the maximum dose of my anti psychotics (160mgs of Latuda), what is it going to take to break this mania.....

And that doesn't even include the $100 I spent on Amazon! Another CD, a blender, new gloves, and another stocking holder since I need 7 altogether.

WOW

well I can see going over board there. I try not to go over what I absolutely can't afford. But it's hard and I know how it is

I have 30 dollars left to get me through the end of the month

    I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now.  I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed.  So many bad things have happened since my mom passed.  One thing after another it seems.  Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up.  Thank...
