I’m having some problems with my impulsive desire to buy things. The bad part is that I actually have the money to spend. Not that I shouldn’t be saving it for the future–and I’m not talking about buying cars or anything outrageously expensive–just that the money I’m spending isn’t taking food out of anyone’s mouth, so it’s not hard to justify it to myself. Over the past week and a half, I have bought a new laptop computer, a bracelet, two pairs of shoes and I don’t even know what all else. It’s like I suddenly get the thought in my head and I can’t rest until I go to the store and buy whatever it is. Or order it online, if I can wait two days to receive it.

To be fair though, the bracelet was actually a trade for a bracelet I had but never wear. So I didn’t spend as much money on that as I could have, and the way I see it, that other one sitting in my jewellery box collecting dust was a bigger waste. And I do need the shoes to wear to work. The lappie is the only thing I really didn’t need, but I got such a good deal on it that I couldn’t pass it up.

Do any other ADDers also have problems with Restless Leg Syndrome? I get that when I’m overtired.
