I have a serious shopping addiction that I have lost control over for many years. I know why I do it at least. I am lonely all the time. I have no friends and very little family. I suffer from severe depression as well. Those are all my triggers. I guess you could say it’s retail therapy. I feel good when I get the item but it fades so fast. I have zero self control. I always “justify” my purchases. I got myself into heavy debt a few years back and I am now part of a debt consolidation program.

I don’t have anyone in my life I can admit this to. Not having support makes it so much worse. If anyone has tips or advice that might help, I would really appreciate it.
