I feel like I have a serious problem with shopping and always having to spend money. Once I see something I like, I need to have it. I find myself blowing through my checks every week. I dont want to but I feel like I need to. I'm scared it's an obsession or I seriously have something wrong with me.
Is this normal? Should I get help?

    Most girls have that. I hate shopping because of that, but I cannot help myself

    this could potentially be a huge problem for you. I remember an episode of that show, Intervention, where it ruined this one ladys life. she was stealing from her family and everything.. so, like gambling, drugs, etc, can be an addiction.

    I am soooo in debt for being someone my age.. Spending money makes me feel way too good,
    and Im a server so I get money everytime I work so my mentality is "ill just work more shifts this week..."

    I cant save more than 200 dollars lately and have not been able to pay bills..

    This is so horrible.

    I feel the same way literally I blew through $3,600 in a month and a half. My closet is packed and it's getting to where I have shopping bags full of unworn clothes. I'm trying not to shop... But it's hard because I get depressed if I have nothing new.....

    I'm a woman and I love spending money, especially on the Internet. I can easily blow through a couple hundred bucks in one sitting. As another poster said, deep down every woman loves to go shopping. IMHO it's only problematic if you spend so much that you can't afford to take care of your responsibilities like rent, bills, groceries, etc.

    I claim to dislike shopping but I actually really am obsessed with obtaining beautiful things. It's just that I rarely have the means to get what I want and that makes shopping depressing.
