Hi everyone.

Tis' the season for excess spending for Black Friday and Cyber Monday (Today)…and I'm guilty. I know my healthy spending habits have gone right out of the window. I would sit here and make excuses to justify my purchases or blame my mental health condition but it's pointless. While this is hard to admit, I'll just say it. I'm seeing a pattern here - I have ***no*** control over my spending habits. I'm embarrassed to say how much I've accumulated in debt over a period of 1 year but I realize it unhealthy and I need some help. 

I'm looking for pointers, help, guides, or WHATEVER it takes to nip this in the @$$. I would love to hear what's helped you when you're feeling manic and more prone to buying things you probably don't need. My wife is much better with her spending habits. I've considered giving her complete control over my credit cards, i.e. handing over ALL my physical credit cards, in addition to my w/ passwords so I can't use them online without her knowing first. Not sure if this is an effective approach but I'm open to suggestions. Thank you BP fam.
