[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 683807, member: 1963"] Shopping addiction is a real disorder. Shopping releases dopamine, the pleasure chemical, just as do many drugs. Be aware that shopping addiction is often also a manifestation of classical mania in sufferers of bipolar disorder. I think, however, that one has to "primed" in some way as while anyone except someone who is on dopamine suppressing drugs (such as APs)will experience a high from, say, meth. Not everyone gets a rush out of spending money. For example, I loathe shopping. I do as much as possible online and I do it as quickly and as efficiently as I can. I buy quality when I buy, so I don't have to buy again right away and hence, spend more on the initial purchase. I think we have someone on the board who has dealt with this. Perhaps if she reads this, and is comfortable discussing this issue, she can give you a better explanation. [/QUOTE]
