It was hard but I did it
Today i canceled my Ebay account. We all talked about the fall through i had recently with my bipolar. Spending is a huge issue for people with this disorder. I will miss it, but its something that needed to be done.I have so much i wanted to sale, but it was to tempting to keep the account open.I will maybe sale on craigslist. I have three orders going out tomorrow.I really have prayed about it last night and asked God to please help me break the cycle, i feel this is what he led me to do. So please pray that more of my prayers will be answered,when he feels im for them to be.

people or things.

Keep up with your meds, and therapy either private or group. Do you have a confidant who can assist you in monetary matters. You are commended for taking the initiative to control your spending. You are comtrolling the disease, not it controlling you.

Good for you! Even though I know it must've been difficult, you did the best thing. My father-in-law is bipolar and had a lot of difficulty with money and shopping issues before he became disbled. Sending hugs to you.
