I never realized how much my compulsive buying was affecting my mental health until recently. It’s a constant battle to resist the urge to spend on things I don’t need, and the guilt and shame that follows only adds to the struggle. But I’ve made the decision to seek help and take control of this destructive habit. It’s not easy, and there are definitely setbacks along the way, but with the support of my therapist and the strategies I’m learning, I’m making progress. I’m starting to understand the root causes of my compulsive buying and finding healthier ways to cope. It’s a long road ahead, but I’m committed to breaking free from this cycle and creating a more balanced and fulfilling life for myself.
