Shopping Addiction

In other words, compulsive shoppers buy more than they need and spend more money than they can afford, in an effort to make themselves feel better.

And in the (very) short term, this can work! While you are shopping, you may feel better, but of course, you feel bad for much, much longer afterwards.

Shopping addiction causes more pain than pleasure

Like any addiction, shopaholics soon find that compulsive shopping takes away more than it gives back. These are the sort of things that shopaholics often experience:

Shopping to improve mood
Getting a good feeling when making a purchase, but feeling bad soon after
Posessing many items that have never been used or worn
Suffering with a large and increasing debt, but still shopping compulsively
Feeling depressed after a big shopping trip
As with all addictions, shopping tends to meet a need that is missing elsewhere in the shopaholic's life. Overcome Shopping Addiction will help you meet your needs in a more healthy way.
