I keep my finances in check, pay off most of my debts, get a little money saved... and BOOM! I want to reinvent myself with new clothes and hair, or I’m convinced that buying XYZ ‘self care’ items will make me feel better, or I’m going out drinking and dining out all the time, or I’m obsessed with something new and have to buy everything relating to it. 

Honestly, this is one of the most debilitating symptoms for me. It creates piles of anxiety and worries for my future and if I’ll ever be financially stable. Yet the satisfaction/joy I get from spending the money and having instant gratification seems to override all of my common sense at the time!
