Emotional Spending

I'm so mad at myself. I got this second job (retail), so I could work on my debt faster. Now, I feel like I'm working my arse off and going further in debt. I see something that I either think I deserve or must have and I buy it. I really hope that my security check for my new ft job, goes through faster, because then I'm going to cut down to just weekends, because I wouldn't have time to work during the week. Then I might talk to them about just working the Christmas season in a month or two. Also, at my current ft job, I need to find out if I get pay via salary or wage, because if it's wage I don't think they are paying me the full amount, I'm owed. This more or less just a vent. I just wish I could find some control on my emotional spending & eating. I just so mad at myself.

I can't relax, tension is holding me together!

Hey Jennie, I'm with you sister-girl! I have both exact problems! I'm bored, I spend and I eat, I'm sad, I spend and I eat, I'm happy and in the "everything's going to be okay mood" and I spend and eat. Feels good to not be alone. I just went online and spent $100.00 for things I really don't need. My overdraft balance has been reduced to $1,100.00 (from 2,000) but I see it rising again as the money disappears from my wallet. I have two jobs and I am always, always tired and cranky! The both of us need this board desperately!!!! Maybe we can support each other!

I was biting peoples heads off at my ft job and didn't even know I was doing, until someone sai something about it. I told them I was sorry. I'm just tired of been emotional, phyically and mentally drained.

I can't relax, tension is holding me together!
