I cannot stop buying things online!!!!! I am having a problem!!!!! I am addicted to online shopping through this pandemic!!!!!! OMG!!

Nearly every week for the last month, I've bought myself several comfort gifts OR something colorful and happy for our apartment -- jewelry, shoes, clothing, an oversized stuffed teddy bear, a carpet for our bedroom, and now today - a huge, gorgeous bouquet of flowers!!!

I don't know if I need help, or if it's really just a sign of me unraveling, struggling with pandemic depression, struggling at work, struggling with some relationship stress, and just trying to cope in general.

I LOVE receiving gifts in the mail, and I LOVE not knowing which gift it will be!!!! But then, the problem is too -- once I receive something new, I have to buy something else!!! It's like I am never satisfied!!!! The joy of receiving is over, so I have to start all over again!!!!

On the plus side, I am not going into debt -- I am paying for all of this out of my checking account. AND I always appreciate my own thoughtfulness!
