Dipna’s father is frustrating. “When she gets married and has children she’ll get over her addiction” - she’ll still be the same person who’s got no idea who she is or what she likes or what she’s good at. She’ll be on maternity leave, feeling isolated and lonely, and revert back to her habits. She needs to find and love herself first.

As someone who had this problem but on a smaller scale, I can say it was to fill a void, it was the only small hit of serotonin I'd often have, I also did it sort of as a way to distract myself from all the negative thoughts and experiences in my life.

@@justpassingthrough9887 No offense, but I don't think you understand. If your parents are hoarders or compulsive shoppers, it doesn't matter if you clean. As long as they have an empty void within them that they are trying to fill, they of junk and shit will continue to grow. You can't stop it and it becomes very depressing and painful. You clean the backyard multiple times a year for them to only keep on bringing random shit they see on the street or estate sale, of stuff they will never use. You dread the annually basement cleanup, when you know that less than a month, it will be filled to the ceiling of crap. You can barely go into your attic. You can barely walk through your kitchen and eat a decent meal in your dining room. You, as a family, have actually stopped eating in the dining room because of their addiction. No matter what you say or do will make them stop, and because you are their child, you are a victim to their addiction. Also remember, she was living in denial, wouldn't admit she was addicted, and avoided major projects by shopping. She needed to go that shed, because she had painful memories connected to those miscarriages. She needed professional help like someone to cry with, other than her children. She was lonely with no friends or spouse and has substituted shopping for that. I believe there was more to the reasoning in which the children would not clean the backyard. Did you notice, unlike that man in the show who had his wife near him, that the children stayed in their room, almost like a safe place/retreat from the chaos that is out of their control. I think that the kids have attempted to clean, but for whatever reason they had been so discouraged, they sit in their room, wishing why they had to live in a storage facility. This situation is way deeper than it seems. I wouldn't clean it without payment either. It is way to painful to see hard work go to waste. She needs to get help and come to reality and start the process and then the kids will probably join along after they have seen that she has really changed. Cleaning for free is legit like putting something in a pocket with holes, you are not going anywhere with that.

When Dipna mentioned going to the mall with her parents and her dad telling the kids to get whatever they wanted...that really struck a nerve. My dad used to take me with him to the thrift store, and he also would let me pick out anything I wanted. That was the only store where buying whatever you wanted was okay. Now I'm a diehard thrift store shopper and I do try to control myself, but I think I could still do better. I now realize that I've been trying to recreate that happy feeling.

In that case, it is best to avoid the mall and any other temptations alltogether.

If you don’t have that, it is difficult. Then you have to limit your access. Give someone else your credit cards, give them the possibility to pay your bills, and only give you a small amount as a “usable budget” in a week. Or a month. Don’t go to shops. Don’t go to malls. If you grocery shop - HAVE A LIST, and stick to it. Do not buy anything that is not on that list. No matter what you feel like, you don’t need it, otherwise it would have been on that list. But everything stems from the will to change. The same with food, drinking, drugs.. but yeah. It will never be an easy fix for addiction, only hard work and determination. Sending love, I hope you can make a change 💕

I had exactly the same problem than you with private online sales. I unsubscribed from all of them but it is/was always very tempting to go back and see what they sell at the moment ! I own all materials for almost any sport!😅

I used to have this problem. I worked it my own solution. I found some local charities. Now I go shopping at bargain stores all over the region and buy basics to donate. I spend about $10 every week on toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant and lotion costing no more than $10. I do not go home! I go directly to the agency I've chosen for that week. Then I treat myself to a modestly priced meal. 1) My shopping desire is fulfilled. 2) I stay within my set budget. 3) Nothing comes into my home. 4) I have a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction. and I've made friends with the volunteers at the charities.

The proof that less is more. I hope they overcome their addiction🧡 They are genuinely good people

I relate to the “spoiled girl” I was raised like that too, you learn that to show someone love you buy things and the only way to give yourself any love is buying things!!

They started shopping and hoarding because they were depressed and now they can't get out of that fog of depression because of their hoarding and shopping issues. I think that its important to consider that just because you suffer from depression doesn't mean that you can't take responsibility for any habits ( or traits ) that are contributing to the destructive behavior. In my opinion once people say the word depression they forget that other variables exist ( like coping skills and life experiences) to create an unhappy environment idk if that makes sense I hope it does what I really meant to say is yes depression can create these issues but depression alone is not the cause of hoarding.

I always say my clothes never left me, they never judged me nor broke my heart, all they did was making me beautiful and wait for me at homes. they are the ones stood by me no matter what happens. So no, it’s never about shopping. It’s a feeling of, I know they will never leave me when everyone leaves

My whole youth was troubled and filled with survival. Both my parents have died. It was pure horror for me. But due to my journey of self awareness and self love I am I in a very good place now. Without my dear husband and daughter, close family and friends who stood beside me these years I could not have been able to achieve what I have reached so far. ❤ I am a very grateful person and I am as good as free of the demons that hunted me for the biggest part of my life.

The psychology behind compulsive buying stems from childhood wounds. Not having enough of something as a child, small gratification from buying something so you try to continue to get that feeling.

The day I learned the science behind compulsive buying is the day I was able to help myself. It's dopamine addiction pure and simple. I do the 10 minute test ... walk out of the shop and allow the dopamine to recede in your brain. If after 10 minutes I still want it so badly I will consider buying it ... but mostly I don't want it after 10 minutes!

If you want to help them, don't try to understand them with normal perspective, this is something that makes them happy just like; travelling, eating, gossiping, clubbing, drinking, working. You can't just expect them to stop altogether and realize the damage

I lost my daughter recently and I find myself going to thrift stores and buying ’project’ pieces then having to buy the tools or equipment I need to complete then I loose my steam and feel overwhelmed in my own home so I have to get out and end up repeating the cycle. I get a little serotonin hit thinking of the ideas of what I could do.

Oh I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't know how I'd be if I lost a child. Get help if you need it. Take care xo

After watching this video I uninstalled online shopping app. I want to determine from today I will start saving rather than shopping in unwanted items.

I went from buying designer clothes and every month with my advertising job salary to not buying any clothes. My daily outfit in my new life in a village in Bali is shorts covered with patches. I really don't think I need to buy more clothes.

I understand Dipna and I can relate. Often when you have strict parents they tend to show love in a way that says they will provide everything for you. Often you become isolated, have few to little friends and rewards or love is shown in material things. Often those parents are hardworking but super detached because they are working hard to provide. The only constant you have is "shopping" u don't learn to make any other relationship. I get it, because that's my life. Its kinda lonely but change is possible. I try focus on charity work for a reality check.

I have lovely parents who were so hard working. They divorced when I was very young and always bought me basically anything I ever wanted. Now that I'm in my 40's, I'm terrified of commitment, and shopping has always been a huge part of my life. Now I'm out of money and have a daughter to put through college. I'm so scared of this massive hole I have placed myself in. I completely relate to Dipna and everyone on this program. Fezile, I love your idea of charity work.

Fezile Sikhakhane Dang I really get that my parents worked really hard when they got to America to give me and my siblings good lives, they also tell me buy whatever you want. They're really strict about what I can do and never let me hang out with my friends from school. Luckily I have my cousins who are my best friends and I also have my relationship with God so I don't feel like I need much things

Expensive brands are really not worth the money.

I used to shop too much shoes bags and clothes. Then I started a business reselling them. So I get the rush of shopping but I don't keep the stuff and I make profit. It's worked for me. Now I've gotten to a point where I rarely buy anything I don't need.

im the opposite... its hard for me to spend money, i never buy useless stuff or things i dont need i always think " i worked so hard for this money, x amount of hours, would i really work 10, 20, 30 hours to buy this??" and then im like "NO."

@@snoopyandmuffmuffin5358 yes if you dont have a family or spouse (btw in my culture its shameful not to leave an inheritance to your children or not to leave anything to your wife if you die, this is something you are expected to do), but i only said i dont buy useless stuff :) that doesnt mean i dont spend on USEFUL stuff or things that will improve my life, for example instead of buying crap, id rather save up money and invest in in renovating my home/house, buy a better, more reliable and safer car, take lessons to learn a new skill, buy high quality clothes that last a long time, travel etc. and i like investing and watching my money grow, life is much less stressful if you have a large emergency fund, you dont have to worry about the future and stress yourself out, you dont ever have to take loans or have credit cards etc. you dont have to worry about not having enough money for retirement or healthcare bills, and many other things

A friend of mine is married to a compulsive shopper. When he was first married he had $80,000 in the bank and within six months she spent it all. How they are still married thirty years later is a mystery.

I think the problem is humans are lonely 😔.

An emotional void for some, or a coping mechanism. Or maybe they're the same thing?
