For the longest time, I’ve been dealing with either depression that’s intermittent or an existential crisis. I have since been relying on buying things to allay the sporadic feelings of emptiness; like a druggie dependent on short bursts of euphoria from depressants. I’m now trying to abate this impractical behaviour by sticking to smaller purchases that will not drive me in debt. Now that I’ve named my demon, hopefully I can find better methods to combat this compulsion instead of relying on quick fixes from shopping runs 🤞😊
