bywena, I think you are doing a good thing for yourself by trying to be social during a time of feeling out of control about spending. Socializing is good for all of us and also I think will especially help you heal from this passage.

Bywena, thank you for posting! That sounds really frustrating. Please keep in mind that you are doing the best you can from one day to the next, and don't be so hard on yourself. How does getting mad at the situation serve you? (In my case at least, it might prevent me from feeling helpless)

Bywena if you're keeping cash (the money your saving) in the house where it's easily accessible, then odds are you're going to spend it. the only way you'll truly save it is to put it somewhere that you can't easily get to it, like a savings account. Keeping cash at home with you where you can just take it out and spend it is way too much of a temptation.

Big hug by..... I think sitting outside and talking to people that go by is a nice thing to do.... Getting fresh air and being social

The only way I think that you won't use Amazon if that's your weak place is to remove your card number if they keep it on and not have your card easily accessible

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
