As the title says, I have depression, and not meme "I feel sad :(((" depression. I've been diagnosed with major depression AND bipolar since literally as long as no can remember. There's a fairly decent chance that I am also schizoid, but I haven't been to a doctor to get a proper diagnosis for that since someone said I meet the symptoms.
Here's the problem: I spend money like it's going out of style on random shit, and it varies from little here little there to "oh God why did I just spend $100?" kind of shit. I don't know how to stop, either. Like, I know I need to stop, but I just don't care enough not to. However, I have other shit I need to spend money on, like getting my car inspected (which needs 4 tires to boot) and owing my parents $200.
I only make $12.85/hr, which is about 360/week after taxes, so $1440/mo. Rent is $570, electric is usually about $40, phone is $50, Internet is $90(I need to call them about it, actually), car insurance is $60, and I spend about $35 a week in gas for about $950 in bills before food and shit. That's $600/mo I'm just straight up losing to nothing, and its incredible that I can't save anything.
It's giving me anxiety thinking about the money I waste, and yet part of me doesn't even care. I just don't know what to do, /adv/. When I'm manic, I spend because fuck it, and when I'm down I spend because fuck it differently.

What about giving your money to somebody mentally (parents?) so they hold the bank and you dont go full retard?

There is literally no one that I would trust to handle my money because I have been burned before by people I thought I could trust.

First forgive yourself. You know this is because your mental health isn't the best right now. You should still work for the solution but try to not stress about it.
Talk to professional help about it. Also make a second bank account and only have limited amount of money on the card you use for shopping. Make a day or a week budget. Try to avoid going to places where you spend a lot of money: Buy your food at the smaller grocery store.

>talk to a professional
I don't have health insurance and therefore any sort of professional is actually just too much money.

money management is kind of like a game, you are going after efficiency in games.
if you are, or used to be a /v/ tard, this shit will take over your mind fast, the only consequence is that it might turn you into a boring person, depending on where your wastes are.

I can't say that I've ever been a /v/tard. I mean, I've played games for a long while, but I pretty much sucked. Like, I never had money in wow. Ever.
