Is it normal that having money makes me anxious/depressed?

When i'm broke I get excited about plans, I enjoy life but constantly look towards getting my next wage from work.

But as soon as I get paid, something weird happens. I get this overwhelming anxious feeling, my head feels fuzzed out (like i'm stoned but really not enjoying it) and I get pretty much depressed.

I hate it because I can't enjoy anything, I just go to things when I have cash and I feel like a zombie, then as soon as I'm broke again I feel normal, no anxiety or fucked up head spinning.

This might sound like a first world problem but I grew up in an extremely poor household, now that I get paid monthly, it just makes me miserable?

    Money?
    I thought it was about a monkey.
    Oh well, if not having money makes you feel normal, send all your money to me.
    I am happy to help you out. No, no, don't thank me, it's the least I can do for a guy that doesn't have a monkey.

    I think you should find a weekly paying job. It's this lump sum monthly shit that got you all badarang

    Perhaps you realize how evil money is... Use it to get more drugs.

    Start keeping a budget and track of a list of what is due when on each day of the month. Know what you are going to pay each check and the leftover money is yours to play with.

    I know what you mean! I have a similar situation. But with me the whole time I don't have money I think of how many things I need and think of how skint I am and plan all of the things I'm need to buy. But then as soon as I have money I sort of panic, I feel like I need to spend it all there and then, everything spins in my head and it frustrats my brain until I have no money again but if my partner is in control of the money it's worse. I panic incase they over spend or forget to pay a bill or just anything like that.
