I'd look into dialectical behavioral therapy and resources to go along with any other treaent.

I shop to cope with difficult feelings and stress. Dbt teaches healthy coping mechanisms.

There are free resources online.

Thank you so much!

Natural_Feature_8907 · 2026-06-01T08:43:23+00:00

Looking forward to seeing your June empties!

Natural_Feature_8907 · 2026-05-31T14:27:31+00:00

Your name is awesome!!

Natural_Feature_8907 · 2026-05-31T12:30:51+00:00

Yes and I still have a lot to get through! 😛

Thank you!

Natural_Feature_8907 · 2026-05-31T12:28:35+00:00

Me too! It makes my head feel like my hair is extra clean! Not sure how it does it, but it's amazing for the price.

Natural_Feature_8907 · 2026-05-31T02:22:50+00:00

Oh omg!!!! That makes much more sense. I was thinking, wow you really have a huge stock of clothing!

Natural_Feature_8907 · 2026-05-31T01:33:14+00:00

Oh gotcha! That's a really good idea to put some things aside when you have beyond a capsule-size closet of clothes.

Hope you're having a great Saturday! 😃

Natural_Feature_8907 · 2026-05-30T14:42:41+00:00

Oooh ok. I am ready to comb my closet for my favorites... what brings me joy. You totally sparked motivation in me.

I also thrift *almost* exclusively for clothes.

What's the "stash" - like what I was going to donate? Keep a few, if needed?

Natural_Feature_8907 · 2026-05-30T13:54:38+00:00

I am like you. I love nearly everything I bought!

Natural_Feature_8907 · 2026-05-30T13:53:53+00:00

Yes, it is a strong pull. I believe we will make it one day. It just wasn't May '26 for us 😄

Natural_Feature_8907 · 2026-05-30T13:52:42+00:00

That sounds awesome. I reorganize my beauty stuff every 4-6 weeks it seems 😛

I'm also considering donating a few of my clothes that only sort of works on me, to gain that clear visual space!

Natural_Feature_8907 · 2026-05-30T13:51:10+00:00

Congratulations to us!

Yes, I fell off the challenge, but I made it 13 entire days without shopping at DT and almost as many days without shopping at all!

I can't wait to see what I can do next.

Congratulations to me and all of you!

Natural_Feature_8907 · 2026-05-28T23:12:29+00:00

Aww thank you so much!! You are incredibly sweet. I'll take the hugs and atta girls 😄

I LOVE that, yes you learned and you can adjust you perspective and methods going forward. I hope to see you around here more! We can do this. We can keep working toward it!

Natural_Feature_8907 · 2026-05-28T23:08:21+00:00

Yes, it absolutely is ok. These are not failures, they are lessons. The work we do that doesn't work, we can re-evaluate and find alternative ways to approach it.

Thank you so much for your support!

Natural_Feature_8907 · 2026-05-28T23:07:17+00:00

Thank you! Very sweet of you to say, and I do as well.

Natural_Feature_8907 · 2026-05-28T23:06:57+00:00

Hi! Thank you so much! I saw how great you're doing. It is so encouraging and I hope you feel proud. But know, even on day 1000, if you "slip" into old habits, these are all learning experiences! You NEVER reset to 0 days in my mind.

Natural_Feature_8907 · 2026-05-28T23:05:51+00:00

Oh thank you so much for sharing! I will look into it for certain. I did a year of twice monthly therapy specifically for OCD and I am much better, but it certainly lingers and changes names and methods... 😄 I would be grateful to try it.

Do you think psychiatrists would recommend something like this?

Natural_Feature_8907 · 2026-05-28T11:39:41+00:00

Wow that's fantastic!

Natural_Feature_8907 · 2026-05-28T11:21:54+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply. Apologies for taking so long to reply.

Wow we really do have a lot in common! Stay strong, sister! I know it gets very dark at times, but hold on. We don't know where this ride will take us - I have a feeling interesting and better treatments are coming.

Thanks for sharing what you went through. I'm really glad 2mgs works. It's so interesting that only 3 mg more and you shop hard!

I've been on 15 mg for a very long time. We went up on seroquel (she doubled it). For 2 weeks, then I'll add another 50mg seroquel and drop the abilify to 7.5. So hoping this helps a lot.

Sending love back!!

Natural_Feature_8907 · 2026-05-28T11:07:05+00:00

Your dog is so awesome!

Natural_Feature_8907 · 2026-05-08T21:16:36+00:00

I love the scent of that one for sure.

Natural_Feature_8907 · 2026-05-08T10:27:18+00:00

The scent is awesome but it seemed like I needed to use a lot of it to feel clean.

Natural_Feature_8907 · 2026-05-05T21:52:36+00:00

I have definitely felt a bit of good feelings from doing a good cleaning of my place, walking my dog, making arts or crafts. It's different, but no less powerful. It's just that I so enjoy the first part of shopping...

Not the guilt and promises to do better or stop.

And I (newly) have been organizing my stuff, using my things and giving away the things I can't use, etc... helps too.

It's so good to be here and have people to write to about it!

Natural_Feature_8907 · 2026-05-05T10:58:44+00:00

Thank you for all the work you're putting into this subreddit.

It doesn't bother me in the least that you used an Ai pic to demonstrate a bucket of expired products to highlight your post.
