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?
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.
