Shopping Calms Me Down

I think that shopping takes me away from everything. Whenever I am mad, stressed, or sad I will go shopping and it will keep me in line and on track. I think this is probably the only way to keep me from doing stuff I really don’t want to do. The only problem is that I spend most of my money on things I only like at that moment so by the time the next morning comes; I don’t remember why I bought the things I have or I don’t even like it anymore. It’s probably 30% of things in my closet I don’t wear at all. I have at least three pairs of shoes I wish I never bought. Sometimes I would wear some of the clothes just to see if they fit my style but by the end of the day somebody else would probably own it. I kind of regret buying some of it but then I think about how if I didn’t buy it I probably would have gotten into many arguments or fights because I didn’t calm myself down by shopping. Many people believe that shopping is boring and tiring. For me, shopping is my escape. I think throughout my life my shopping habit will slow down but I won’t ever stop shopping for this reason. I think this is a technique that many people should try. You may never know how soothing it can be unless you try it.
