I Think I Have a Shopping Addiction?

Question by prettyinpink: I think I have a shopping addiction?
I really think I have a shopping problem. I find myself at the mall every weekend, and at local stores during the week (The mall is kinda far from where I live) I will go into a store with 1-3 hundred and when I leave it’ll feel like I barely bought anything but all my money is gone. (When in reality I actually buy a lot but it always feels like I need more) My boyfriends hasn’t said anything.. he’s a gentlemen and holds all my bags for me but will always be like ” Are you finished yet? We’ve been here forever “… Is there such thing as shopping addiction? My father recently passed away and it’s been hard for me, but when I shop everything is better, I don’t think of the past and it really calms me down..I know it sounds crazy. :/ Anyone else have this problem?
Also when I don’t have any money to spend.. I find myself looking at clothes online and it calms me down a bit.

    There is definitely such a thing as a shopping addiction….and also, shopping addictions can lead to ‘hoarding’…do you have enough room to put everything you buy?

  • Bek=] says:

    yeah you can get addicted. if you wanna shop go out and pay for some therapy should help (dont need to sound rude or anything). or just limit yourself to 1 shop a week and not going over a set amount of money.

    You are addicted to shopping. I was also addicted to shopping and it took over my life. I would go to the mall almost every day. I always felt the need to buy something. I would always leave with something. I also have a four year old daughter and when she needs clothes, I go and buy her way more than what she needs. I probably spend about 5000 $ on her clothes a year. If not more. It’s uncontrollable and she’s only 4. Seriously, you need to try and get yourself a therapist and try and find the underlying reason for your shopping addiction. Ii found a therapist and we’ve talked about many of my issues and I know why I have the need to shop and now, it’s getting better. I’m at the mall maybe once a week and you deserve to get the help you need.
