Question by SexybackK: How do one person know if he/she has a shopping addiction problem?
ah… I think I might have that problem… I can’t stand it! I just finish cleaning out my room, and notice I have 5 large bags of clothes, which I am going to donate tomorrow, then I have 4 large bags of boxes from shopping online etc. I want to stop, but I have no idea how, what do you do? or how do you do it? seriously, I think I need HELP!

Answer by letterstoheather
i can’t say whether you have a shopping addiction or not… i would say it is a problem if it’s caused you financial difficulties.

i’ve found a couple websites about compulsive shopping. maybe you’d find useful information by taking a look if you want?

i sure hope you get your answers… take care.
