I'd also record how and when and why you buy. How you feel then. What triggers it. Talk to your doc or a good counselor. I'm no expert, but you might have a psychological disorder. Bipolar and ADD and stuff causes weird things. I have these in my family. Some get spending urges. Some hoard. You might need medication. I have seen some changes in my spending issues since diagnosis and medications. Then, you have to undo the habits. Those coping things involving spending. That does take some mind changes and self control changes. But, it helps if you aren't fighting a mood disorder at the same time.
