I’m not sure how to stop doing this. Any advice would help. 

I constantly spend my whole paycheck within a week of getting it, which is terrible as I’m paid biweekly. It’s also super embarrassing because then I’m broke. I make good money at my new job, but it’s worthless if I’m spending it on gaming, clothes, etc. i regret it EVERYTIME because I go overboard. I got paid $1k on Friday, and i have $15 by the following Tuesday. 

I don’t feel necessarily manic, but I think spending money gives me temporary feelings of mania. I crave it. I want to stop so badly but it’s like I black out and spend money. 

Does anyone else struggle with this? What do you recommend I do?
