Admitting to having a problem with spending

Hello! This is my first post on this site and I recognize that I have a problem with impulsive spending, espicially when online. My therapist suggested that I try to go a week without any online purchasing; even now, I am anxiously waiting for that time period to be over so I can go ahead and purchase something that I bidded for (definitely do not need it).

I don’t want to be like this for the rest of my life. I am still living with my parents, and although I have started to accrue some savings (but hardly any emergency cash), I know that I have to break this habit of spending as it is entirely unsustainable. Lately, I have started looking into different programs that offer help of this sort and found this website along with some others.

I just wanted to get my feelings out there, and admit that I do have an online shopping addiction.

i think the more you look for help, the more help you will find! dont give up. there are lots of people with this problem, especaially on this site. i believe you CAN overcome this problem. you willl
