    Every time I do bad on an exam, I would take off 50 bucks from my bank account and spend it on clothing. It is my way of making myself forget about it. -down

    Just wondering how many people out there are like me.
     
  2. just 50... why not 100, it'll make you feel twice as good.. -lol.

  4. yea but once you spend it already... they can't really do anything lol. you can spend your money on a lotta things if you feel depressed, like some chinese herbal tea to relax ya.

    Yeah, the last time I took an exam, I was so sure that I'd failed when I finished. Right after the exam, I went to the mall and shopped my brains out. I spent a load of money on stuff that I didn't even need, but I needed to shop to numb out the pain. Anyway, when I got home with all my stuff, I felt uber guilty, and that made me even more depressed. So I'm still paying off that stuff now.

    I only binge shop every 6 months... and that's usually after a round of finals.. but maybe next time, I should try for some lower end stores.
     
  7. just get 100 dollahs and fukin go crazy at that 99 cent store... -lol

    i spend money on food - does that count?
     
  10. yea that counts... with 50 bucks you can get 5 godiva chocolate dipped strawberries. Or 10 lbs of gummi bears... or 50 bags of chips... I would say that's ballin' right there...

    yup. sometimes when i get to buy something really nice it does make me feel better. but checking the bank account would make me depressed again.

    Actually, I tried not to spend money when I am depressed because a few hours or a few days after spending that money, my depression will be in effect again.....if I keep repeating the process, I think I will be in a lot of debt trouble lol....I think I get over things easily, after awhile, I will be ok again...hehe...no money involved!! :D >.<

    No not really. Is more like another way around. If I feel happy or I got a good result, I would spent money to treat myself such as buy clothes & having nice dinner with my parents/friends. :)
