Content: Like shopping, managing your debt becomes a complicated, time-consuming process. 5. Shopping Powerfully Affects Your Mood
People with a shopping addiction describe feeling very excited when they shop, often spending money so that the feeling of euphoria covers up any feelings of sadness or anger. Others shop as a way to cope with stress. Unfortunately, once a purchase is complete, it’s not uncommon for a shopping addict to feel guilty. People cope with the guilt in a variety of ways. For example, some return the purchased items, almost immediately, only to go out and buy again soon afterward. Others try to forget about the items by shoving them into a closet or drawer, never to see the light of day. This wild swing in emotions is common among addicts of all types and a clear sign that you need help. 6.
