““Depressed shopping” is something therapists see all the time. People go shopping because they feel lonely, empty, bored, and they hope that buying something new will relieve those distressing feelings. In the process, they experience a little thrill of acquisition, but then they get buyer’s remorse and feel worse. Most likely they’ve spent money they didn’t have and added to their indebtedness to get something they really didn’t need in the first place.””
