This is going to sound really weird, mainly because I think it is. I've always had a problem spending money. I make enough to live on, pay rent, utilities, food etc and still have left over to fill my car up and spend money on hobbies, but I can't bring myself to spend because I want to save it.

The thing is I'm not really saving it for anything. I've set myself an arbitrary target amount to save for the year. I'm divorced and not looking for a partner right now so don't need to spend it on that. I want to buy a few mildly expensive things for myself but can't bring myself to. I've even rationed food to make sure I save the amount I want each month which is obviously not healthy.

I assume it is a part of my depression (something I am seeing a Councillor for right now), but in the meantime is there any advice that can be given for breaking what I see as a bad habit of not spending money?
