I am by no means addicted to shopping but I have noticed that at times when I am a bit down/stressed etc I develop a kind of “nesting” instinct where I am particularly down to buying things - sometimes clothes but home wares even more so. Can anyone else relate to that?
it’s odd, because I don’t have hoarding tendencies - quite the opposite, tidying and decluttering makes me feel calm (I hate clutter). But I get this testing urge - a little voice inside my head says “your life will be much better if you replace your old bed sheets with these new ones” etc.
