I Think I Have a Shopping Addiction?

Question by prettyinpink: I think I have a shopping addiction?
I really think I have a shopping problem. I find myself at the mall every weekend, and at local stores during the week (The mall is kinda far from where I live) I will go into a store with 1-3 hundred and when I leave it’ll feel like I barely bought anything but all my money is gone. (When in reality I actually buy a lot but it always feels like I need more) My boyfriends hasn’t said anything.. he’s a gentlemen and holds all my bags for me but will always be like ” Are you finished yet? We’ve been here forever “… Is there such thing as shopping addiction? My father recently passed away and it’s been hard for me, but when I shop everything is better, I don’t think of the past and it really calms me down..I know it sounds crazy. :/ Anyone else have this problem?
Also when I don’t have any money to spend.. I find myself looking at clothes online and it calms me down a bit.

There is definitely such a thing as a shopping addiction….and also, shopping addictions can lead to ‘hoarding’…do you have enough room to put everything you buy?
