Addicted to online shopping during menopause!!!
Posted , 14 users are following.
Hi ladies.. Anyone else find themselves addicted to online shopping while going thru all this ?? I'm always dizzy or have a migraine or joints hurt , or vision blurry, or legs and arms weak weak weak.. Or nauseous ... Can't think straight to save my life.. All the busy stores and omg the lights make me physically sicker than I already am, its just not worth the time or effort anymore!!! So I find myself doing all my shopping online these days, for a while there when this first all started I use to push on thru the stores but the weakness and migraines and all the anxiety made me stop.. Anyone else feel like they're addicted to all the online shopping now and its all just too easy, I find myself buying things I do not need at all or that I cant afford, and end up returning a bunch of stuff which is another headache, I don't know, retail therapy maybe? Who knows.. Or maybe its just a way of coping and keeping my mind off all my nasty symptoms.. Anyone else????

I do this too! I keep the spending part under control by allocating a certain amount. Filling my cart with all sorts of stuff, take some stuff out, add new stuff in. On payday, once I have curated and re-curated the cart, I finally purchase up the amount I've set aside. I still buy way too much stuff. But just adding things to the cart and knowing they are there for payday helps me feel like I've shopped.
