Hi all. First time here but I'm hoping to find support with others who may be feeling the same as I do.
I've always kind of had spending problems, it ebbs and flows. But it gets really bad when I do a deep dive into a new hobby. I become hyper fixated on getting all the things related to that hobby. This goes on for months until I find something new to obsess over. I've done this with gaming, soap making, sewing, roller skating, reading, collecting build a bears and my current obsession, perfume.
It's become really bad this time. It started with hunting for the best deal I could find for the next fragrance I just *had* to have. Then I discovered dupes and things only got worse from there. Once I realized I could get new fragrances for like $35 and that so many of these clone houses have sales with their restocks that sell out in minutes, I just couldn't stop.
So now, I'm months later, deeply in debt and spending the last of my grocery money on limited edition perfumes. I'm sitting here now, trying to resist the urge to go purchase some more that is sitting in my cart in another tab.
Anyway, thanks for reading. Getting that out is making me feel a little lighter. I just need to get my shit together.
