Shopping Addiction Support Group
Oniomania (also known as shopping addiction), is the compulsive desire to shop. Similar to other compulsive behaviors, sufferers often experience the highs and lows associated with addiction. The purchase generates a mood of satisfaction, gives their life meaning, and lets them forget about their sorrows.

I have been out of control for a while. I spent $1700 in two days about two weeks ago and I've spent the rest of that time pawning anything I could just to make a few extra bucks. I was going to try to save that money, but of course I spent it as well. And now I can't afford my rent and my mother just found out. Now she's furious. She told me that I'm obviously not an adult as she had thought. She said because I did this, she now has the right to treat me like a child. Then she asked me why and I told her flat out that I couldn't help it at the time. She said that of course I could help it. Is she right? I always felt out of control, but is that a lie? I mean, do I really have control? Is this a real problem? I'm so confused right now. The need to spend money is burned into my flesh, or so I thought before tonight.

If you are to the point where you are spending your rent you need serious help. Your family won't always be there to bail you out.
