Every one says to take loan, i will save up money.
Is it the right understanding ?
When I catch myself trying to spend to the last dime it’s a sign that I’m going manic. If I don’t stop myself I start getting frantic about it. I’d suggest if you start feeling you need to spend every cent that you do NOT get a loan. You will be doing your future self a favor.

Its pretty normal behaviour for me to spend all my money. I have hardly any each fortnight to begin with though. But even so, i spend money on books and stuff even though it might mean i won’t have enough food for a few days.

I’m struggling not to buy anything. There’s nothing I need right now, and I need to save to get my car fixed instead of coming up with some small “treat” to buy

My costs outweigh my income, so I always spend every dime.

Don’t get a loan (unless you’re starving)!
Just list essentials and comfort expenses and stick to the essentials.
If you notice you shop a lot online it’s maybe time for a digital detox.
Maybe you can save the money for a rainy day?

You might have to work a little harder to discipline yourself. I am working quite hard mentally to not spend. And when tou get tired of mentally telling yourself no, you do end up spending to feel better.
It’s possible the aripiprazole is affecting your impulse control; it has mine but it’s also the least side effect injection/depot i can use therefore i can’t chnage it either.
I’m on the same dose and med.

I think lots of ppl have this problem.
Hence why so many of us are broke.
I’ve gone into money which was an overpayment from work.
Now second month they’ve overpaid me again…
I think having a savings account could help

I am planning to give my entier sal to my dad and he would give me 100 rupees daily and this would work out.
The sad thing is even the hundred rupees gets spent in 1 hours time 
Need to find an alternate plan,
only thing is most of the money goes out in smoke.
Like 5 smoke burns off 90 rupees. 
And smoke is very expensive here.
I remember i used to buy for 10 rupees a smoke plus tea now its 18 bugs.
And yeah i have no control in smoke.
I dont no very poor in planning of expenses.
I wish and wish i need to manage money.

I used to think I have no control in binge eating until I reminded myself that long term binge eating will give me diabetes. Cancer. Both of which affect energy levels. Very serious symptom.
Diabetes also leads to amputations, eye problems, kidney problems, (kidneys filter out toxic waste from our blood stream out of the body!), and more. Belly fat is also linked to increased risk of dementia… A very serious disease.
Try scaring yourself out of smoking?
Educate yourself. About the long term consequences.
Imagine getting emphysema and not being able to breathe properly etc etc

Thanks 
I will remind self.
Sometimes i think i should not live long.
There is no point when everyone advice to get married with out even knowing my issue.
My cousin says i am very week in my decisions.
I am not a man.
He has his own world.
If I say something he will get angry.
So i dont talk much to my relatives.
They are the reason for self harm and some time my family, see i am blaming others for my own actions.
I need to live for my self before i share my life with someone.
I dont know i feel to live free live young.

Don’t give up.
If they are toxic, can you distance yourself from your relatives?
You’re not weak, that’s a nasty thing to call you.
Maybe chat to them and tell you how you feel.

I like to chat with strangers more than my relatives

It makes sense. You"ve known each other for a long time, and spent more time together. Less curiosity going on, on each side.
