Making small purchases to relieve “stress”

[sammi_girl]

I realised I’m making quite a bit more purchases to make myself happy. It’s not splurge for sure as I can well afford, just that they are more of wants than needs..

Is this normal to behave like this?

my “stress” I believe are covid 19 side effects, making life a little more tougher

Everyone has different coping mechanism.

Nothing wrong as long you can afford.

Small purchase is good but you must also watch it because many small ones can accumulate into a huge CC bill.

Nowadays I just add a lot of stuff to my Amazon cart and check their "stock market" a few times a day. If the price ever drop below a certain level, I will hoot.

As long as you happy why not? Just control and not do it extensively.

I rem some girls here have mental issues
R u ok ti begin with

Anyway ppl who buy things to feel happiness never see that after buying n the thrill over is nothing meh
I buy things have to think n find it a chore to make decisions
Nowadays save environment don’t buy

So the prob now is to see through yr purchases n gain some wisdom
U need to wk on the inside n not the outside -spend time relying on external stuffs when u shld learn to master yr heart

Yes, most types of stress are produced by a general feeling that we do not have or are losing control over a lot of things happening in our lives. This is why eating, shopping, gaming, etc are therapeutic because they create the perception (albeit illusory) of control in your own life.
