Hi, my name is Ky
I struggle with the shopping addiction for quite a long time ever since I got my first debit card even before that when I would get money, I would just blow it on anything. I think it’s a point that it’s become harmful to my relationship because it involves lying hiding and I do it when I feel out of control and I’m realizing that now, I could really use support lost a lot of relationships and feel overwhelmed and need to do it and then feel so much later especially when I cannot return this stuff. I do have a therapist, but I think part of it too. I’m just so embarrassed to even admit it to them.
Hello Ky,
Don’t feel embarrassed to admit to anything to your therapist. They are there to help you heal. There are many websites or free courses that would help you with your finances. Don’t feel bad that some people left you and your friendship/relationship. You can try decluttering or donating some of the things. You could also read about things to help you control your spending. Please don’t feel bad. I know that there has been sometimes when I have bought things only to realize that I didn’t really need them. I used to work retail and well let’s just say that I found alot of brilliant sales and bought alot of clothes. I have been able to donate some of the clothes that I don’t use anymore and that has helped me a lot.
