I spend too much money and have been using this as a coping mechanism.
The spending isn't the problem. But it's why I spend. I buy myself things I don't need because I think they'll make me happy. This is and has been a mistake for nearly a decade.

What I have discovered also is before my attempts at fixing it myself I was stable in my lifestyle of being a neet on government neetbucks. Yes I was most likely killing myself from drinking 4 times the amount of recommended maximum intake of alcohol a week according to medical experts but I was stable in my schedule. I had a routine to follow.

Now I have a new routine to follow which actually disables me from almost killing myself, isn't that fun!

That was something I thought of, I just horde stuff like crazy though in terms of digital games.

About $1200 for anything after rent/food

It was only when I looked at what I have, added up how much I'd have after payday and went from "I definitely want to play games at work at ultra" to "orrrr I could just keep saving about an extra $1000 a month" that it hit me just how fucked up what I was doing was

What kinds of things do you wish youd put more time into? I dont know where your depression comes from, but I think you can deal with it by delving into something positive that youre passionate about.

My passion is getting drunk
That's a serious response. Before when I was neet I was drinking when I wanted. When I took a job for the past 1.5 years I was drinking when I could due to it being scattered hours. So I wasn't enjoying it

Also I already have a plan all worked out for the next 5 years if the world doesn't die on us

I should probably explain.
I genuinely do like drinking. And it's not even a case of getting ass blasted drunk. I just like it. I always have.

The problem is I only like it when I'm the one choosing when and where. Like now? I have work at 8am but could have a few beers and be fine for the morning. I could get off work and drink and still be fine. It's not like I might be on call or be told "oh yeah the next three days are fucked so you're in". It's just whatever.

Also I couldn't go back to being a neet ever, I miss... seeing my bank account go up <_<
So greed and alcoholism drive me
