I know what you mean. I had my car for 2 years, hadn't payed it off yet and I LOVED that car. But it got a big scratch on it, so I decided to start looking for a newer one. I sold it to my brother and went and bought a new one....just in time to go out on disability and have trouble making the payments.

I don't know what to tell ya....I have trouble appreciating what I have too.

not sure what to say but car are only for tranporttasion so i would think that a nerw one is imporant unless you cant get for a to b i guess this is a case of look but dont touch there may be a need for something in your live right now that your your filling with the thought a new car

You know morris I have not thought about it like that inamnvery empty at the minute and I don't know what it is. Not happy with anything :-(
I am down on here and think people are avoiding me. Just getting angry daily and i don't want to do anything

(((Tigger)))~~

So sorry you're out of sorts. Maybe your interest in a new car is a way to distract yourself from the issues that really need your attention.

If you're feeling like your car situation is not right and it needs to be fixed NOW, then maybe it's becoming a compulsion. Sounds like it's causing problems in your relationship too.

Being satisfied and content can be very comforting, healing and centering. It can also be elusive. Do you do any gratitude exercises? Hang in there!

I stages every now and again I don't even know why I just want to spend money

Hello baby thankyou for your hug x i don't know any gratitude exercises -do you think this is one of my symptoms of bipolar

Be appreciative that u have a car. I haven't driven in over a yr because I don't have the money or the credit. I take public transportation and walk. Don't fret over material things

Maybe cause its fun to get a new car, and with the season you want change. Something new and exciting?

We got an ol' 2001 PT, i wish we could get a second car. But I love the PT, I am the only one that loves the car. lol so when I can afford to get another newer car, It goes to my fiance, and I get the PT- That his mother paid off, and then gave to him. So, no car payments for it is awesome!!!

You know Rachal I hear what your saying but a car is the only thing that I do own. I work very hard an always have done even if my job was only packing mushrooms. I guess my car is my space - somewhere I can and do go to be me when I need to. I have been looking for a car with a bed in it - so its like a little home for me when i need somewhere to go

I had an old Ford Transit Van & used to sleep on a matress in the back. Maybe that's an idea for you.

I have traded basically brand new cars in that I have only had for a few months for something different many times during manic episodes....all it lead to was a bunch of debt. I can totally understand the feeling you are having and it is hard to resist but try your hardest.

Well i have got a new car. It is soooo lovely and my wonderful partner has done all the numbers and we can afford it buzzing
