Hi Coco. I'm sorry you are suffering this symptom. I have it too and it's not easy to deal with, that's for sure. Not only do I shop when manic, but also when in a low mood. Buying stuff makes me feel better.....feel something even if it's only temporary and fleeting. I always feel that once I have this purse, dress, makeup, food storage....I will suddenly be better....and the trickiest part is I actually do feel better momentarily. But in the long run I dig myself into a deeper pit that only brings anxiety and other more serious consequences.
I wish I had suggestions on how to fix this problem....but I do not. But I do understand and relate....you are definately not alone. (((Hugs)))
Congrats on not spending this time...pat yourself on the back for that.
