    Do I have Kleptomania?

    I have been suffering from compulsive stealing since I started high school in 2007, but its not the usual kleptomania as i steal money to make my self more popular at school. In year 7 I first stole money from my mother because I had previously noticed that when I had money at school people liked me, but when I didn't I was bullied. I was with depression in 2012 and started to see a psychologist whom I talked to about my stealing but nothing worked. I was living with my boyfriend at the time and I started to steal from him too. I feel horrible about it and know its wrong I just cant stop.

    If someone has any idea about what this is or how I can fix it please let me know as I really hate hurting my boyfriend like this and i want to stop.
