Is it a mental illness to continue buying things recklessly despite being heavily in debt?

Hello, dear question asker!

From what you've told me, it seems like you're feeling a lot of anxiety and panic right now, which is totally understandable!

And you're even starting to wonder if you might have a mental illness, aren't you?

From what you've told me, I think you might be right!

It's so important to remember that behind the scenes of your unlimited shopping spree is a shopping addiction or a state of shopping mania.

This is all linked to your subconscious anxiety, which is totally normal!

I'm sure you'll agree that shopping is quite enjoyable, but after buying things, you are full of self-reproach and guilt.

This feeling of guilt can then lead to more anxiety, which can cause a vicious cycle.

Psychological explanation: It's totally normal to feel like shopping is a way to take back control.

And it's all linked to things (people, animals, or other toys that were there for us when we were little).

And you start to feel safe and secure because you start to believe in the values that an object or a person brings you.

It's totally normal to feel anxious when you've lost something. In fact, it's a way of coping with that anxiety that can sometimes feel a bit out of control. But here's the good news: you can relieve that anxiety by buying things!

It's only natural to try to fill a sense of worthlessness with buying things.

In addition, the binge eating, temper tantrums, and inexplicable irritability you mentioned also show that you have

We all have those anxious personality traits from time to time.

Binge eating is also a way of coping with anxiety that we all know is not the best solution.

How can we help you with this?

There are lots of ways to treat this, including cognitive therapy, psychoanalytic sandplay, and more.

For example, you could try systematic psychoanalysis to explore the subconscious and deal with the inner conflict behind the anxiety.

What's that knot that just won't let go?

Hey there! I was just wondering, what is the presentation of the desire to attack like? Thanks so much!

You see the problem. Let me answer it.

You don't have a mental illness. You have emotional problems.

Your writing shows anxiety.

The debt and poor income are probably part of the reason. Money problems cause anxiety and insecurity. You feel unstable and powerless.

You feel anxious and helpless because you've worked hard and still haven't seen a return on your efforts. You also feel tired. At this time, your sense of happiness and control is weak, so these purchases, as well as eating, can fill these negative feelings.

You'll get caught up in it, temporarily getting pleasure and relaxation. Do you agree with my analysis?

I used to have a bad mood and emotional problems. I would go to the store and buy new clothes. I was happy and enjoyed talking to the shop assistant. I felt good when I looked at myself in the mirror wearing the new clothes.

I feel similar to you, but it was only a phase. Later, I focused on relationship problems and other things. I also buy clothes, but in moderation, and I have many hobbies.

Swimming, learning, yoga, etc., and being with more people is very happy. I don't know if my dear understands. It seems to be buying and buying, but it is actually caused by one's own emotional instability. Let's adjust our emotions and do more things we like.

It's okay to work and earn money happily. Once you deal with your emotional problems, you'll do less things that make you happy but regret later. I hope my answer is helpful. If you want to talk more about emotional management and wealth energy, you can send me a private message.

Good for you for asking this question. You can learn to control your emotions by exploring your feelings. Best of luck!
