Venting I'm horrible at managing money

[bestbeforetomorrow]

i just can't save anything, I'm not sure in any future, i can't plan ahead at all and I'm afraid. i just want to cbt cause there's no point, I'll never have enough money, and the amount i get doesn't matter, it's never ever enough. i don't know how to cut my spendings, i just use all of them and don't know what to do... i need to save money but i don't know how

Yes, money is a big problem, to be honest, all 4 months that I was being treated for depression, I spent my money and unfortunately nothing helped me, no pills and psychologists, and even a psychiatric hospital. The only way out that I came to is what I urgently need sn. It is a pity that finances do not allow people to dispose of them as they would like.

I have an aunty with bipolar who ended up needing other people to run her finances for her. But she's an extreme case, and the only one that I'm aware of personally.

I used to be really bad with money. All of my funds went towards the hobbies that I used to run away from my abusive home environment. It was a very vicious circle, especially as I didn't have a proper income, nor was there any vision for a genuine solution.

Once I got my first full-time job, within a couple of years I had completely changed my ways. I abandoned all hobbies and fixated on buying a house so I could ensure that I never have to see my parents again. I was also terrified by the threat of homelessness, which would have been a very real possibility since I had no support. That all-work lifestyle brought its own horrors, but at least it proved that it is possible to change.
