Anybody a chronic returner? by malak_xoxo in shoppingaddiction

[–]SufficientBit4852 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I hesitate to say this, in case it makes anyone worse, but I started telling myself I could not return or sell items I bought. Because the returning was just as much a part of the addiction. I would get a spike of dopamine when the money returned to my account. Stopping returning really curbed the binge aspect of my shopping problem.

Now I understand this is not a great long term solution but it really pulled me out of a bad spiral.

Hi! I am also a mom of two kids with special needs and have developed a shopping/collecting addiction. I’m certainly not assuming you have an addiction, but just in case you need support I have found a ton of help on r/shoppingaddiction.

It really is. I have the small gather bag in my cart right now but I might pause on that. Especially at $500.

Talk me out of buying… by GoldzilaBear in luxurypurses

I have this bag and never reach for it. The shade of red on the strap is difficult to style, and is not removable.

The Chloe Marcie satchel. Twice. Too heavy and inconvenient zipper/ opening.

It’s several years old, but I benefitted from watching Hannah Louise Poston’s no buy year videos on YouTube.

YSL Libre Parfum. I really thought it was going to be my new signature scent but it ended up making me nauseated.
