I get these random shopping sprees and feel out of control

I really need to get myself together. It's been happening since I was 18 and really ramped up in my early 20s. I'll get into these binge-shopping cycles where I just can't stop shopping and it's like I'm possessed. Usually it's groceries, skin and hair products, and clothes but sometimes it's other random stuff like cologne, houseplants, tea, used electronics. I hit a new low these past two weeks I'd been depressed and tired for a while, but the spring weather + my tax refund revived me in the worst way. I'm so hyped up, can't sleep, need to shop. It's almost obsessive shopping. I've spent at least 1000 dollars in two weeks, which is most of the tax refund that I was going to put in savings. I'm so mad at myself. My family member noticed it too, she was like "didn't you just go to the grocery store? Are you going like five times a week?" It's so embarrassing.
