Basically just what the title says. I have depression, am on meds for it (the meds cost a fuckload of money, too, so considering weaning myself off of them to save money) and I still am depressed even with the medication. What helps me feel even a little better? Buying stuff. Not big stuff, but I find myself buying an energy drink one day because I know it'll make me happy, or ice cream another day, or maybe I'll get some crackers that I really like. It's always between $3-5 each time, so it's not like I'm spending a fortune, but it bothers me that it's not necessary stuff, and I'm just using it to fill a hole in myself.
I guess I just want to know if anyone else has been in this situation and maybe get some advice about how to have more self control. It's just hard to have self control when an energy drink or ice cream cone feels like the one thing that's left to live for.
