Continuing to de clutter my bedroom tonight @Former-Member I’ll make the music loud so no one hears me crying as I sift through memories of days long gone.

Compulsive Shoppers
17 JUNE 2022
While we see many people doing some retail therapy for a personal boost, it may surprise you to know that there is actually a psychological disorder called "compulsive shopping". This is where people whose lives are dominated by shopping, buy thousands of dollars worth of goods they can never use.

Psychologists who treat these sufferers often begin by helping them understand the difference between a need and a want. To help them break out of the compulsive shopping disorder, they have to break the link between wants and needs, then the further deeper association between the acquisition of goods and a sense of self-worth.

While most of us may not be suffering from compulsive shopping disorders, we need to learn the same lesson. We often confuse personal wants with actual needs.

Ancient wisdom date we should follow the example from nature, flowers and bird life. They don't worry, fret or shop and yet God cares for them. Our worth is not in what we have but who we are before God"

I think to maybe I shop too much for
- something to do
- company
- little bargain thrill
