I think a big issue that doesn’t help my shopping addiction is that I usually like everything i buy, if I ended up hating or disliking things I’d be more inclined to not spend as much but all the things are usually great 😭

Feeling the same way right now. I am not an addict in any other way except for shopping. I have major anxiety and a way to help me deal with it is by shopping. It’s a little relief. I just talked to my husband about this and it was hard to admit to. I’m glad to know I am not the only one out here.

I honestly don’t need anything yet still want more. 😭it’s like an itch I just want to scratch. I’m trying to curb my spending habits. It’s so hard because shopping is like another form of entertainment when I feel bored or lonely.

Journaling everything you feel at that moment and why you feel it is really eye opening once you read a month of entries. 😳 Good luck!!

Proud of you. It can be really tough to tease these things apart. And I wouldn’t see this as a small step of progress. It’s huge, good job!

I just left two things in the checkout (at Coach) and closed the computer. It’s maddening. I know the addiction well. Good luck! You’re doing all the right things.

I’m the same, and recently it just so happens that I have no packages coming and no returns to do, and that lack of anxiety from those two is really motivating not to online shop at least.

You are preaching to the choir! I just saw a pair of Uniqlo pants someone filmed a video about and instantly purchased them. I needed to see this. Thank you for sharing. You are not alone

This really helped me because I learned that my trigger (for buying clothes mostly) is getting ready for work in the morning (or going out somewhere with friends) and I just hate the feeling of not knowing what to wear and wearing the same basic things on repeat. I have a full closet and I’m sure it’s worth my time to shop my closet and put together some different outfits with what I have. And then mayyyybe treat myself to one new thing if I feel like I could use it with multiple pieces I already own. That dread of dressing for work is my trigger and I’ve tricked myself into thinking if I just buy more tops and then it’s more pants and it’s never-ending yet I feel no different about getting dressed! It’s madness!

You did great! Naming the feelings makes it so much easier. Things I ask myself before purchasing: how does this elevate my life? Would my dream self still want this? What area would this purchase be investing in (myself, my family, my home, my health, my relationships)? Do I already have something that is similar? Would I feel comfortable telling 3 other people that can help hold me accountable about this purchase? Would I feel excited about this purchase later or would I regret it?
