Maybe have a garage sale? If letting go of stuff is really hard and unthinkable for you, you may be a hoarder. My older sister even has a hard time taking out trash because of her connection with it (that or she’s just lazy and using it to get my mom off her back). Any-who, therapy sounds like a good use of your money.

I only read the first 3 paragraphs, but I can totally relate even though I’m only 14. Ever since my parents got divorced when I was 9, I love the feeling I get when I get something new. Whether it’s just a tube of new mascara, super cute wedges, or a whole outfit, I’m instantly in a better mood. Now that I’m almost 15, I’m starting to worry if I’ll always be like this.. If I’m always going to spend money in just ME. I’m scared to get a job, cause I do want to save up, but I don’t think I’ll be able to control myself once I get a car..

I love shopping, and maybe I love it a little too much. I always say to myself, “i’m not going to spend any money today”, which ultimately makes me spend more. Telling myself not to shop is like being on a diet. If I can’t have a slice of chocolate cake, I end up stuffing my face with the entire thing, only to feel guilty afterwards…..only when I shop, I don’t feel guilty. To me it’s like the best legal high out there. I wish I had advice for you, but I don’t, all I can do is sympathise with you…. as can my bank account

First of all, get a financial adviser. It sounds like something for old people, but as soon as I get out of college I may be talking to one. They can set up an account that draws money automatically from your paycheck–you don’t even get the chance to deposit it yourself. It’s extremely handy and helps build up savings. It sounds silly, but therapists are there for a reason, too. Maybe talking to one will help find the cause of the addiction, or find a substitute. Some insurances even cover the expenses.

find something else to get that great feeling from. the closest thing I can relate to is I used to cut, then I got my bass guitar and every time wanted that pain I’d work on my bass until my finger hurt and viola! maybe find somewhere to volunteer that you can walk into every time you want to go to the mall.
