Even for those of us without a shopping addiction, we still need to be cautious. The brain creates dopamine responses that can lead us to want to do more of whatever causes the dopamine reaction.
My mother was bipolar and had this shopping addiction. She would spend hundreds on beanie babies, furniture, clothes....while her kids went to bed hungry or ate canned veggies.
@THEwhimsical1 She acted like I was attacking her and taking away from what she felt she deserved. She came from a violent home and wanted what she felt was owed to her--in this case, nice material possessions.
I was kind of like this before but when I watch minimalism and konmari method help me lot. Now I spend on healthy foods instead. Fast fashion too ruin the environment
@@iarshintasudjana4382 buy only things that you needed not your wants. only stock healthy foods in a ref. Eat healthy foods as you can until it become a habbt.
This lady doesn’t look okay, she seems to be in a child like state, I believe it’s the medication she is taking no doubt. God bless her and restore her mental health her case seems to be related with psychiatric issues to begin with which are a bit more complex.
I like shopping, too. Retail therapy is real, unfortunately. Though I do not overspend like these poor people, my husband has control over our joint account card so we can save!!
Absolutely Ridiculous it isn’t even therapy’s the dopamine spoke and giddiness u get when u buy something is *extremely* fickle and temporary and ur right back to where u started very soon after. Retail therapy is a myth.
Constant smiling and grinning and giggling - lady needs a lot of therapy so she can stop the embarrassment-caused laughing and get to the heart of the problem.
If i have extra money in my budget it’s not oh what can I buy ? It’s what bill can I pay ? Does my electric need to be paid ? Do I need food ? Do my cats need something ?! Problem with addictions is that people can’t make good choices
Shopping gives me hives. I guess that is sort of a good thing, except when I run out of presentable clothes and have no time to find decent fabric and sew. So when I find trousers or a shirt that fits, I buy two or three of them.
So..is she allowed to work with this illness? Because i do not think she is getting all that money she spends on shopping for clothes from family etc. I think she works or something.
Based on her hunch she looks like she might have an adrenal disorder which makes you gain and makes it harder to lose weight and the food she does eat is probably not nutritious
@mizzmolly it's easy for you to talk but i don't live in US and i can't save "only" 200$ when my whole salary is 450$ and after all who even knows if he's going to live to his retirement? I obvioisly wouldn't behave this way if i wasn't living with my parents who pay for food, bills and other necessities. And this happened only this one month that i spent it all but honestly i bought myself everything i have dreamt of so i don't regret
This is really bad. A down payment for your own house tomorrow would feel better than that shop today. It a bit of an insult to your parents too as they can't have fun as you do cos they are paying for you. You are acting like a child and not an adult. I hope you change this
@@standingfortruth4043 You're ok, it happens! I spent all my personal money on clothes recently, too. Sometimes you need to spend a bit on yourself :) ...that guilt will help you not do it again for a while. ^^some people just don't get it^^
I heard a story once about a lady who was so deeply affected by this disease that she murdered elderly women to rob them so that she could go shop and get hair done and that type of thing. This woman is gleeful about saying she'll put shopping above eating. Amazing how these things can happen to us.
I don't go shopping for clothes, shoes, etc. In fact, most of my stuffs are old. I Feel guilty to buy a new one. But I spend a lot in foods and groceries without second thought.. I love to cook and eat! 😂😂😂😂

@Marci LK a very substantive comment you make. Well thought out point.

@THEwhimsical1 She acted like I was attacking her and taking away from what she felt she deserved. She came from a violent home and wanted what she felt was owed to her--in this case, nice material possessions.
My mom does the same but my dad only gives her $100 a month now she can't touch the account
I was kind of like this before but when I watch minimalism and konmari method help me lot. Now I spend on healthy foods instead. Fast fashion too ruin the environment
eme gi Only buying or keeping items that spark joy can do so much to lean out your household.
Any advice? Im into fitness n able to minimise my shopping
@@iarshintasudjana4382 buy only things that you needed not your wants.

Eat healthy foods as you can until it become a habbt.
I think this is a cautionary tale for allowing anything (shopping, alcohol, etc...) to take the place of real physical and emotional relationships.
This lady doesn’t look okay, she seems to be in a child like state, I believe it’s the medication she is taking no doubt.
God bless her and restore her mental health her case seems to be related with psychiatric issues to begin with which are a bit more complex.
This is very true. Do not judge. Their are so many weird addictions.
I am the other way around. I spend too money on food....
Me too and I got in trouble with my spouse because of it.
damn! this is so eye opening! I am kinda there! too much spending!
I like shopping, too. Retail therapy is real, unfortunately. Though I do not overspend like these poor people, my husband has control over our joint account card so we can save!!

And she doesn't eat but at home. Im sure she is not skiping any meal. Hehehe
She stated that she has schizophrenia. That will complicate properly treating her shopping addiction.
Clara Montgomery 😒
Why she smiling? She broke
Nicole Salinas she is high
Soo ridiculously in denial
Nicole Salinas she is in shock
lol
I see the comment section is full of perfect people devoid of any addictions or vices.
Great comment. We should never judge others. All of us have something we need to work on. Thanks for your comment

Lack of love
like me myself.

Lucky Me i can control my self
I wish I knew what it's like to be a obsessive shopper.
She does a lot of shopping but doesn’t have very cute taste...
Alex Kelly They’re all like this.
I probably have people like that in my area but they are hiding.
the only way to handle this is don't go to stores
the camera work makes me dizzy 🥴
Don't believe her about not having food. I mean, look at her. 😑
She probably buys food out a lot rather than groceries.
She eats outside
Based on her hunch she looks like she might have an adrenal disorder which makes you gain and makes it harder to lose weight and the food she does eat is probably not nutritious
Omg 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha
Consignment shops are good
I have friends with alot of money I have nothing I wish I was like you with alot of money too.
WHY do shopping addicts dress so Badly ?? they spend thousands on clothes , to look like they dressed in the dark ?
Do people in South Sudan can suffer to this adiction too?
I wish I was a compulsive shopper I wish I knew what it was like.
I live with my parents (I'm 20) and i just spend my entire monthly salary on shopping.. I feel her

Oh God i did this for one month one month okay? I usually save all other months and at some months i don't even spend any money on myself.

Jajaja se lo tomaban re en serio en los comentarios QUE LES PASABAAAAA
I like getting a good deal, that's the rush for me.
I understand it
Women are socialized to shop.
I am praying to stop this.
I heard a story once about a lady who was so deeply affected by this disease that she murdered elderly women to rob them so that she could go shop and get hair done and that type of thing. This woman is gleeful about saying she'll put shopping above eating. Amazing how these things can happen to us.
another example of why we'll all be better off in the afterlife
Isn't "Shop" the first letter women learn?
I think is a problem every where in the world.britidh people spend alot money clothes .
Daddy loaning her money is not helping her.
Ummm she is clearly not missing food....that is a lie!
so sad, society is horrible, they make her behaving like that.
I wish I knew someone with shopping addiction oniomania I would say something to stop shopping.
Some of the meds makes you shop
Ah, those people down under are crazy; who the heck would want to live THERE?
Living in Australia is wonderful, we love it
WHY? It's full of dangerous animals, it's on the bottom of the globe...ok.
@@SKY-jv9ue have you ever even been there? You're only assuming things.
I love it. I've lived overseas too. Where are you from? Where have you lived?
I've lived at Okinawa, the States, etc.
Not smart at all.
Rich country problems
I can and will stop.
Yet as a shopoholic, she wears the same dress throughout the video lol
She reminds me of Susan Boyle.
She has food OK! Lol look at her!!?! She has food.
Joyce A-deg-bo-ye-ga

Bad taste tho

She does ’t seem to be missing any meals.
The dad seems more like her boyfriend. Odd daddy relationship at such an old age.
Isn’t she kinda old for high fashion? Wtf
Naww never too old for that
