My shopping addiction
Shopoholics, when they are feeling "out of sorts, shop for a " pick-me-up." They go out and buy, to get a high, or get a "rush" just like a drug or alcohol addict. Shopping addiction tends to affect more women than men. They often buy things they do not need. Holiday seasons can trigger shopping binges among those who are not compulsive the rest of the year. Many shopping addicts go on binges all year long and may be compulisve about buying certain items, such as shoes, kitchen items or clothing; some will buy anything.
This is the definition of a shopoholic. This is me… I am out of control when it comes to shopping, and I can’t help it. If I see something I love, I pull out the credit card without a second though and then justify it later. Things are like, “Well it was for a good price,” or, “ I really needed one!” My shopping drug of choice is clothing. I have so much, and yet I always feel that I need more. I think I need to seek help?
