I have a problem with buying too much. When things go on sale - particularly canned goods - I stock up. Granted, I was taught this as a child by relatives who lived in a house with lots of space. But,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I live in a 1-bedroom apartment.
A deal is a deal but I have to start learning to buy in smaller quantities. I also have too many books. Considering that I am a very slow reader - I seem to have some form of ADHD - they are mostly gathering dust.
So,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for the record,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I have too many canned goods, too much pasta and pasta sauce, too many dress shirts (by last count, 20 that are still in the wrapper), jeans (I hope I don't gain weight b/c they will no longer fit), Polartech sweaters, boxes of tissues,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], wine and scented candles.
I guess it's a sign that I am overprotective and would rather spend money on material things rathen than experience life. When you have social phobia like me then shopping becomes a social thing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. I know it will be a very hard habit to break.
Unhappy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I was just thinking this morning how I have accumulated too much "stuff"! I have a small house, to which I intentionally downsized and downpriced several years ago. I hired an auction company, when I sold the bigger house to sell most of my stuff. Now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I seem to have just filled up this small house too much. I too have social anxiety, would rather be alone than subject myself to social situations. I take a kind of pleasure/comfort in buying things I "need." I'm procrastinating in the impending job of cleaning out my garage, where now there is just a small walkway to the outside! (Like on the Hoarders TV program!) Thankfully, I don't allow debris to collect in the house, and take some pride in keeping a clean and clutter-free environment, but the garage and additional storage building (which I've bought since moving into the smaller house!) have filled up and have become impassable. When I think of the task of the garage/storage bldg, I become overwhelmed!
I haven't visited this site for a while, and I noticed they changed some things, or I'd suggest to you that Hoarding falls under OCD, but there doesn't seem to be a specific category for that anymore. That might be a good thing; I think more people will see your post,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so, even if they don't have the same issue, they might still have an answer for you.
I'm with you when it comes to books. I buy more than I can read,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], although I've taken a difficult step and stopped buying them, for the most part. There are exceptions (like, if I see a new romance novel featuring pirates, I will consider getting it), but it's very rare for me to buy them now, tempting though it is. I still buy magazines, though. I am a slow reader, IMO,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and that has to do with my OCD and ADD, I believe. I don't "absorb" what I read sometimes, and have to re-read it, sometimes several times. I went through all my books several months ago, discarding the ones I felt I wouldn't mind not reading, because with the books I've kept, it will still fill up my time--years--of reading. I have them all packed away to keep dust from them, but reachable when I want them.
I'm in college now (and wish I had waited just a semester or year longer), so my reading of my own books and stuff has come to a halt,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], since I'm doing a lot of reading and work for college.
I also know what you mean about buying too much. I really love shopping when I have the money to do so. When I don't, I feel frustrated, because I hate not being able to get what I want when I want it. Still, it's something we have to learn to control. I have gotten much better than I used to be, but the temptation's still there.
I hope you can get things under control. Are you on meds for the ADHD? That might help. I'm on the generic for Adderall,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but not seeing any improvement. The pdoc increased it, but I have a bit of a phobia regarding meds and side effects, so when I take them the first time, I want to make sure my boyfriend is home, just in case something bad happens and I can't drive to the hospital or call an ambulance myself, not to mention worrying what if they can't help me. Anyway, I haven't taken the increased dosage and explained to my pdoc that I still want to try it, but I need to wait probably until college lets out in December.
