Anyone else tried using e-shopping to cope before?

Whenever I would feel super down and alone, I would usually scroll through sites, to impulse buy stuff in bulk. It would usually give me enough dopamine for the day to move on forward. My top purchases were usually cute keychains, pens, or clothes.

I can't do that nowadays since my money's low, and I know if I actually want to keep a job and not get fired I'd need to be medicated for one of my mental issues (which is never happening lmao) but it did keep me going a few times. Though sometimes I would forget I even ordered anything and go back into a spiral.

not sure if you are looking for an other way to get dopamine to power your self through the days or what you are doing, but obviously if you can get your self in to a good video game they can be lot of fun and don't cost you money (besides the initial purchase unless it is a free game)..

yes. it got pretty bad, but spending my money on useless shit no longer makes me feel anything so i've stopped. and i'm now in a rough financial spot (not too bad, but still). i bought a lot of comic books and band merch during that time

It doesn't hit like buying stuff in person 4 me, but even that is quite empty and hollow. Meh

There was someone here who spent all of her money, including money for rent and food, before the 5th of the month doing eshopping to get that dopamine spike. They had that exact same problem.It's a dark Rd you don't want to go down. Better to curb that habit.

I mean You can be suicidal and depressed but you also need a home to stay in and you need to eat something from time to time.
