Re: Relapse! Coping, Symptoms and Tips.
Now I'm a shopping addict. Park me up in Boots by the make up counters and I'm as happy as can be. Or in Debenhams overloading myself with perfume spritzes of stuff I can't afford. I have developed a love of all things girlie that overpowers panic. Are you interested in music? HMV have a massive vinyl section now and you can leaf through them just like we did in the 70s. Go out with something nice in mind, not just bread because you need it. I'm a great believer in treating myself or rewarding. Although maybe it's just an excuse to buy something. Anyway you can never have enough lipsticks. Whatever it is, Not something you need.....make it something you want.
food shopping...well that's a royal pain in the bum. All supermarkets deliver now. I,used to get Tescos round but their substituted items drove me batty. Got no carrots...here have an onion insteadBut if you are no worse off in bigger anonymous stores, give them another go. The exit is always there, it's a free country and you can walk out whenever you want and not a single soul will even give you a second glance.
