I had to tell my husband our credit card is maxed as well as our line of credit we just refinanced a year and a halp ago...
Hi Lindarenae, thank you so much for being here. When did this all begin for you and can you remember what spurred it? As well, I think that it's so amazing that you opened up to your husband about it. Do you still feel tempted to shop or are you working to stop this habit/addiction?
I just can’t remember, it seems like I do this when I feel depressed. I have only been married for almost 3 yrs, my 1st husband passed away unexpectedly in 2002…
I totally understand that feeling, because I used to do the same, now I only shop as a reward for myself, rather than to fill an empty void. I realized that I needed to work on filling the void in more fulfilling ways, rather than with the emptiness of shopping, which in the end only added immense stress.
Are there hobbies that you're interested in? Is there something that you can work towards in terms of fulfilling your goals and dreams? These are the things that will help you past this, as that's what helped me.
