often times imho ppl shop to fulfill some other need in their lives. it gives them a quick rush of happiness. unfortunately it's just that...quick and not lasting. the real need is not fulfilled.
(i on the other hand am bipolar. when i'm in mania i shop way too much and purchase things i don't need. at the time of purchase tho it seems the absolute best decision. have had to return items after i level out and say why in the world did i buy that????)
so is there something going on in your life that is not where you wish it to be?
sounds like this is cyclic too. could you have moments of mania?
