My shopping habit is ruining my mental health

null

DEAR DEIDRE: I CAN’T stop buying clothes. It is the only way I know to relieve the stress I am under.

Spending money gives me a short-term buzz but afterwards I feel so guilty. I treat myself to designer clothes and the latest trainers.

My mental health is declining as I am getting further into debt and struggling to cover the payments.

I am a 38-year-old married man. My wife is 36. We have been married for ten years and have a two-year-old daughter.
