How to stop shopping addiction, emotional spending forever: the psychology of a shopping disorder

[@americohagim1131]

Shopping is more of a mental dopamine need like whenever I buy something the next day I head back on Amazon and buy something else and this cycle continues

I want to wash away my painful identity I had with my ex after a traumatic relationship. Just spent my rent money on a new wardrobe. I’m going to change and learn to do better. I over spend, over eat and over exercise when grieving during a breakup- it’s awful and part of the reason I hang on to relationships longer than I should, because this is unbearable. Thank you to all those who make these video me for people like me who are struggling.

I’ve been diagnosed with body dysmorphia disorder with extreme diet/exercise and body focused repetitive behavior. I just realized I also suffer from compulsive shopping disorder and they are interconnected. Through treatment I understand this stems from childhood trauma however I do not see how to heal from this early pain to make change in these persistent disorders. It’s interesting how early trauma can manifest into these neurotic tendencies in more than one way.

[@20LookInside12]

C-PTSD - yes, it's brutal living with it. I have these issues as well. Must always be super fit, hyper vigilant about body weight/muscle mass... and I am totally addicted to finding high-end thrift store scores. The only time I'm ever really free from this is when much bigger events take over, like moving, or travelling... Being in Nature helps to "ground' me into a beautiful reality most times. Crazy how I actually seem to 'resist' the healing of nature... instead of going outside for a walk or swim, I end up driving to a thrift store. We DO have the choice though. Let's try to make the right ones. Be kind to yourself. You are Good Enough, just how you are.

[@thehopefulbudgeter]

I seriously need to stop, I realize it’s affecting my marriage now, so I’ve deleted all apps that influence me. Let’s see if i can change. 😟

My daughter is a young mother with two little girls of her own. She has confessed to having a shopping addiction from which she will later experience, guilt and shame. She seems very materialistic, but I think she’s trying to fill a deeper void. Something from the soul and spirit realm.

Shopping addiction is a hard one to deal with because it seems so innocuous, but advertising is so sophisticated now that shopping addiction is encouraged! Unfortunately so many people are suffering with this cycle, even when we have recognized that we have a problem. Amazon is designed to make it worse. Know that you are not alone, even though it can feel like it. Self deprecation after shopping only makes it worse! 😢

[@bleakaf]

Some good points, but not all diseases are just symptoms of sadness/pain, and also medication can be incredibly helpful for people, giving them the breathing space to actually be able to confront their pain. Also you don't explain how people are supposed to 'liberate from the root of their pain'. There is no tangible answer here, no resolution. This feels like click bait, and that's a really unfair thing to do to people who are clearly struggling otherwise they wouldn't have clicked on this video.

what happens if you can't solve the pain. that it's not something you can solve, it's left there with no answer or ending?

[@yesuanjagalacarsten5256]

There isn’t pain that can’t be solved, even the worst of all can be solved. Do not loose Hope yet, the understanding of Man simply will always deceive us that something won’t end or the pain might not end. But in God we find true satisfaction, true happiness and true Joy. For His ways are above all Human understanding. That’s why there will always be limits to what we can and can not do. But there will never be limits for Him. The sooner we believe this, and we trust more in Him. The better. All in all I pray that whoever is going through a tough situation, and they feel like it won’t end, whoever is having suicidal thoughts and whoever is confused. May the Lord Heal you and May He give you joy and peace. I am a living testimony. Please do not loose hope yet. LEAVE ALL THAT YOU CANT SOLVE IN THE ARMS OF THE LORD!!!
