Struggling lately
My online shopping got out of hand last fall due to physical health issues, and I started shopping a lot during my recovery. Lately the shopping has really increased as my anxiety has ramped up as a result of chronic pain.
In the past week I ordered five small items that, individually, don't cost much, but it adds up. I need to focus on medical bills, yet here I am shopping... and I don't need these things. But I keep thinking about how much happier I'll be when they arrive.
I memorized my credit card number, so removing the info from sites doesn't help. I also made some orders from websites I never shopped at before, where returns are not allowed or would be a major hassle. Typically I avoid that, but this time I didn't even care. Just in a bad place right now. I don't even know when I'll feel well enough to go out and use these things that I bought. So it ends up making me feel even more depressed.
