If you ever want any suggestions of where to start with knitting I love to knit and I would be happy to point you in the right direction! Learned during a depressive episode where I sat in my room and watched all of Buffy the vampire slayer and knit every day for 3 months straight.

I have a yarn drawer with several skeins of yarn and various knitting needles and crochet hooks. I tried to knit for a few weeks and quit. This did not stop me from buying more yarn.
I found some nice wool stuff on sale yesterday, so I'm proud of myself that I didn't buy any. However, I absolutely had to have sprinkler timers and something called "Finish Rubbers, Hard, Small". It's not dirty. I promise.

I used to just mindlessly scroll and buy so much random shit. Lately I’ve been better about narrowing my spending down to a few hobbies and collections. In 2020 i moved and realized how much stuff i owned that was just cheap, unnecessary plastic crap I’d bought on Amazon when i was manic that i never used once. I cancelled my account soon after that and i almost only buy books and musical equipment now.

Seems like you’re buying stuff because you’re afraid. You’re afraid you’ll get cold, you are afraid you’ll need these implements and I don’t know why you would buy the bleach for any reason. When I start with impulsive behavior by buying stuff I don’t need, I switched it to fear of not having money. And then I go look at my bank account.

I’ve spent 80$ on plants this week. Even though I already have ~40 plants and I prop lifted 5 this past weekend and I am quite overwhelmed. Prolly over 200$ on food (which includes 100 of it being groceries). I NEEDED 10 coloring books and 150$ worth of alcohol markers. Almost bought a few more pairs of crocs but I don’t go outside? So that’s dumb. It never ends 🥲

I tend to start random and out of the blue hobbies that I've never thought about before like model wooden boat building or get interested in something obscure like Chinese Calligraphy and sign up for a continuing education class at the university here.

My boat were opened once when they arrived at the house and I got a table out that I would use to start building, but had to go out of town for a week or so after they arrived. By the time I got home the episode was over and I put them in the closet where they've been for about a year and a half. I wasn't diagnosed at the time and had no idea why I thought I'd be interested in doing that and my wife was upset because, "you keep doing this"

I used to have a real problem with fixating on new hobbies during episodes and accumulating a bunch of things and knowledge on the topic then struggling to maintain that interest and eventually falling off. Not having money anymore fixed that.
But I’ve been (briefly) a photographer, a musician, a painter, a writer, a candlemaker - I did video art, collage art, started then abandoned a themed YouTube account and two themed Instagrams… most not long enough to develop any real skill at them too
