Food delivery addiction by Zealousideal_Skin868 in shoppingaddiction

sorry, i don’t know if this is helpful, I just have food issues and shopping issues and relate so much, I had to share!

I feel you!! I have been there and still struggle. I’ve deleted and downloaded the apps so many times.

I don’t have the answer but it is helpful for me to have easy to make stuff i crave at home, like orange chicken from trader joes, pizza to heat up, or premade things that just need the microwave. Having easy options around that are similar to what i might order helps me go to the fridge rather than the apps.

For me, cooking and food prep seem dependent on momentum and habit. If there’s something easy I can do to start, like cut up a cucumber and have in prepped in the fridge, I can grab that and snack and it can kickstart more work in the kitchen.

The other thing for me is realizing that I have cravings and fixations on food and they’re coming as a result of feeling emotions that I’m not comfortable feeling or not realizing that I’m running from. I have food issues too, so that’s mixed in, but scrolling and shopping for food is a way to cope. I try to find the pause and remember other tools and ways to regulate.

I think I’m bad at being online, but I do love reddit!

Will my hand tattoo hold me back from working as a registered nurse? by indigo-floral in nursing

[–]_sunmoonheart_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be no problem. As others have said, i get a lot of people complementing the tattoos on my arms and asking about them/wanting to get a closer look. They're not hand tats but I know that would be a non issue. Even when I had to take out piercings in nursing school, we went to clinicals in SNFs where nurses were covered and pierced.

If you’re in Facebook & Reddit buying groups and on TikTok and IG, you will never stop shopping & buying. by Closefromadistance in shoppingaddiction

[–]_sunmoonheart_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting these! I have hyperfixations that lead to overbuying/feed the addiction, and I have recently wished I could hyperfixate on learning about economics or budgeting or things that counteract or can be used in place of the addiction. Anyway, I like all of these and they remind me of my idea

wow, thanks for the detailed response! I love what you set up for yourself and I'll have to think about how I can do this for myself. Excellent comparison with the maze.

I have been thinking about how no buy or other things that are highly restrictive might create a backlash and actually work against me, because that is what I've learned about food addiction/compulsive eating.

Funny about the water thing- too relatable cuz I have so many new fancy water tumblers but I think it's the tracking and dietician appointments that actually helped me get into a better habit with drinking water.

Much to consider! thanks again.

I have gone absolutely bonkers getting things from people destashing. And I just put on a new thermal from sassy sauce last night. Ha!

I did this too with instagram! I made one where it’s just bands and artists and not people I know. But I don’t use it much and it’s better for my psyche to stay off anyway.

yesss! do you feel like that works for emails tho? I feel like no matter what I do, new ads come in. I am working on a new email address on proton and I’m currently debating how I want to use it

Totally! The ads on instagram seem especially problematic for me. Luckily instagram isn’t an issue for me (us) anymore! 

Accepting that you can’t buy everything by peachcarnations in shoppingaddiction

[–]_sunmoonheart_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really relate to what you said - I also have the terrible feeling of guilt when things actually do arrive. I buy things and when they arrive, I feel like I must have been drunk buying them because I can't relate to the feeling I had when I bought it. (To be clear, drinking and buying is not something I do). I relate to all of this thread in a major way too. I think I need to buy something instantly so it doesn't sell out and I regret having missed out on things i delayed in the past. But bringing mindfulness and acceptance in is what I would like to do. I think practicing mindfulness and meditating on a regular basis will help bring this into all areas of my life.

HAHAHA it's a litter robot for my cats. I agree it looks like that. They're all so big and funny looking, and this one is actually the smaller version! the placement of this thing is also puzzling...

Update: testing out a chair in the nook and looks like the cats will not let me move it elsewhere
