Does anyone have major spending problems?

I have major issues with addiction and impulsivity in general. Binge eating, binge drinking, self-harm, gambling, and (mostly) past drug addictions. The issue I'm dealing with most right now, or is catching up to me, is spending. I have about $150,000.00 in credit card debt. I'm trying a debt relief program before I have to declare bankruptcy. I also have about $300,000.00 in student loans on top of that.

My need to impress and be liked by other people bleeds into my spending. I leased a BMW. I have a bunch of Louboutins and designer bags. I make good money, but not good enough to spend like this. At this rate I will go bankrupt and never be able to buy a home. I'm 35 and an attorney in an expensive area of the US, for reference.

Any advice on impulsive shopping? Or impulsivity in general? Or can anyone relate? Thanks everyone

I spend more than I should but I make sure I don't dig too deep and the big buys are things I can enjoy often and for many years. I also learn how to fix things rather than buying a new one.
