I'm sorry again you've suffered from the addiction, but thank you for sharing, and I hope you've made some progress with it over the past three years. I think it's also important to remember that companies and social media sites like Instagram don't care about people's addictions; they just care about sales.
Hi Sophie, I commented on your last video. Like you I haven't found a whole lot of specialised help for people struggling with shopping addiction. Mine has definitely reared its ugly head the last couple of months, I think it's the circumstances that we find ourselves in and having more time and opportunity to browse online. I am definitely a bargain hunter and also a collector. I think its always been part of my nature but like you say it becomes a problem and has an impact when it goes beyond your financial means. I am trying to focus on March and trying to slow my spending down. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings as I think it's an important topic. I think people may assume it's a frivolous thing and something you can easily stop but I've been in this now for almost 4 and a half years and still trying to overcome it. Looking forward to your next update and I'm hoping my spending will be in a better place then ☺️
I know how serious it is

It would be interesting to hear Darren's perspective too but understand that might not be something you / he would want to do!
We literally just filmed a q&A video on my mental health !
Look forward to watching
Hello Sophie, I never thought about shopping being an addiction. But the way you explained about it, makes absolute sense. Great talk friend. Grace💖💖
Totally what I want to achieve from these videos is more awareness! Thanks for watching
