I have a shopping addiction too and it’s definitely emotional. I buy things to make myself feel better and it doesn’t really feel the void. It sucks, you shouldn’t be so harsh on yourself.
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you've been able to make some progress on the addiction over the past four years.
I'm really sorry to hear that, and I hope you were able to make some progress on the addiction, even if you haven't completely conquered it. For what it's worth, I hear taxes are rather high in the UK and the government isn't the most supportive, and in that environment I would imagine one should save whatever they can (including perhaps to move somewhere else). In any case, I hope you and Darren are doing well these days ❤
So brave of you to make this video. Stay strong you have done the first step.
Well done for uploading. First step to addressing any addiction. Take each day at a time and be strong. Can you perhaps go through what you have and maybe try and sell. You are not alone. Be strong ❤
Well done for sharing. My weakness is handbags.
Hi Sophie, I just wanted to comment to let you know that you're not alone. I have very similar issues with shopping (online shopping in particular). I don't have any advice as I've tried a lot of things to stop and I still shop. I have slowly been getting better and it's becoming less of a problem. Being completely honest and open with family and my husband has helped me. Trying to remove the negative emotions from shopping as well has helped, I think seeing it as bad, or yourself as bad for doing it makes it worse. My therapist said to me to try and see it as a habit and work on breaking the habit. It's a journey and it's a tough one but mainly I just wanted you to know you're not alone. X
Thank you for sharing and I'm glad you've been able to make some progress! I hope you've continued to make progress over the last four years.
Hey xx good to hear you being so honest.. I'm EXACTLY the same n for me its got worse over the years.. and its got to the point now where I'm that addicted to online shopping it keeps me awake at night all night!! I literally cannot get off the sites... really do not want you getting to that point!! Xxx I wish I'd been honest to myself really yrs ago x
I can totally relate to the staying up at night thing. it becomes all-consuming and I can't stop thinking about an item until it purchased. It almost gives a sense of anxiety and to purchase it just relieves that.
Wow sooo helpful. Thank you both for admitting this, as it’s now where I’m at with the shopping. I’m watching this at midnight to try and stop obsessing over items. I have OCD.
I'm very sorry to hear that and I hope you've been able to get a handle on shopping over the past three years.
I think the important part is that you’re admitting it to yourself that it is a problem. The key afterwards would be trying to figure out how to change that habit, because I promise you that it doesn’t really matter how much you make when the issue is your reaction to your emotional state. When you’re sad or upset (which is your trigger), do something else other than shopping, such as watching a funny movie/sitcom, going out for a walk/exercising, etc.
Yes, absolutely! I think the situation is similar with a lot of addictions. For instance, if you're a stress eater, it doesn't matter how many calories you burn in a day, you can always eat more and gain weight. Identifying triggers and putting in earnest work to avoid them or do something else when they happen is very important.
I also have an online shopping addiction, clothing is my weakness. But I've banned myself from anything designer. I recently had to buy myself a whole new wardrobe (weight changes), so I found a store with super cheap clothing, which saved my budget. Now, I don't have to buy any more clothing. I just buy grocery food, now. I also got rid of my credit cards a long time ago, and just use a debit card. I pace out my spending, and stop buying too many things until pay day.
That's awesome to hear; good for you!
I too lie n justify about my purchases I even have parcels in my car.. in the boot..I get some out wen I'm alone n.open them.. and even do this in the car by going for a drive to park up n open them. N then the new parcels get put I there and so on..
I do that because of the volume of parcels I have delivered...hubby cant believe how much comes..and the postman thinks same!..but hubby only gets to see half the amount thats actually delivered!!
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. You've been brave to in admitting the issue and sharing it. Have you been able to talk to your husband about it severity ? all the best sophie x
We all lie to ourselves, in one way or another, but I think there's value in being open with supportive friends and family. As Sophie mentioned previously, were you able to talk to your husband about the severity of the situation?
you are just like me, only I don't return) hello from Russia! you are awesome, I liked your video, you are very real
darren and your parents listening to you about your paypal 👁👄👁💦
I know 😢
I spent 530usd today. 😐
I feel your pain . The shopper on me wants to share the excitement in knowing want your bought and my brain shares the sympathy in knowing there’s something causing it underneath
Same I have one too you’re not alone
