Can’t stop shopping

QI online shop every day. Sometimes, I don’t even want what I buy – and I certainly can’t afford them. Purchases are hidden around the houses, often unopened. My debts are so bad. Why am I doing it? Amy, Stockport

ABuying things every day to make us happy can become an addiction. It’s very common to buy things daily to make you feel better especially if are trying to fill a void of loneliness, heartache or if you have suffered from a traumatic event. It’s not necessarily what you’re buying, it’s why you are buying. To give you that short term happiness. I would advise to look at the root problem and ask yourself when this first started to try and identify what had happened around that time.

Only then will you be able to deal with the problem.
