Is it possible to have a disorder similar to bulimia that applies to other things besides food?

jtizzlicious asked:


I think I have a disorder that is like bulimia but doesn’t involve eating.

The same habits are present, binging and purging, feeling out of control.

For example, I will spend lots of money one week and then when I feel out of control I will be extremely frugal and then when i feel back in control I do things to lose that feeling.

This also applies to organization. I will obsessively clean and become very organized, only to gradually become more and more messy and out of control with clutter until I feel completely out of control and then I will continue the cycle.

What does this sound like? Bipolar? I’m planning on seeing a doctor but I wanted to see if anyone could take a guess on what this might be.

Any stories / advise for a new employee recognizing unusually frugal employers?

Sunlight instead of lights, running out of printer toner, OUT of toilet paper for the restroom, re-using all scrap papers. I am frugal in my home so I get it but I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a business so frugal.
