I Believe I’m Developing a Shopping Addiction? Help?
Question by Anna: i believe i’m developing a shopping addiction? help?
Well I’m 14 and I’m still on my summer vacay till October 6th. I don’t have a job nor do I want or need one, and most of my good friends have been going on vacays and have been super busy. But I do have one great friend that I only see on the weekends because her parents are divorced. Anyways, I go to some kind of store everrrrry day no matter what, and if I don’t I feel incomplete and usually will be super-grouchy. I don’t spend alot of money at stores, only about anywhere from $ 15-$ 250 depending on the store. It also doesn’t help much that my bday was on the 11th so I’ve been going to the mall alot using my gift cards and cash. Shopping just makes me feel so complete and happy, especially since I get depressed and suicidal a lot. I know that this is not just a normal, teenage girl kinda thing, I’ve felt this way for about 10 years, but I never really thought it’s something serious until now. I haven’t confronted my parents about it yet, but I think they feel the same way I do. So what should I do and what are some tips? Thankss:] And no, I am not a spoiled little rich girl.
