Hi ladies.. Anyone else find themselves addicted to online shopping while going thru all this ?? I'm always dizzy or have a migraine or joints hurt , or vision blurry, or legs and arms weak weak weak.. Or nauseous ... Can't think straight to save my life.. All the busy stores and omg the lights make me physically sicker than I already am, its just not worth the time or effort anymore!!! So I find myself doing all my shopping online these days, for a while there when this first all started I use to push on thru the stores but the weakness and migraines and all the anxiety made me stop.. Anyone else feel like they're addicted to all the online shopping now and its all just too easy, I find myself buying things I do not need at all or that I cant afford, and end up returning a bunch of stuff which is another headache, I don't know, retail therapy maybe? Who knows.. Or maybe its just a way of coping and keeping my mind off all my nasty symptoms.. Anyone else????
I had to double check to see if i was the one who wrote this!
I have leg weakness, lightheaded, dizziness, blurry vision but also everytime i lay down i feel like i may faint. i then feel foggy and very spaced out . once i had severe involuntary muscle contractions like a seizure. i literally have to just let it pass like 5 minutes. i was diagnosed w/anxiety but i really think that’s a bullshit doctor excuse for not being able to figure it out.
Do you have any of that addition stuff?
I’m going to see an endocrinologist and put this hormone ■■■■ to bed.
now on top of everything else i tested positive on my colonguard but i don’t believe those things.

A family member of mine suggested retail therapy. We laughed but, it does help on occasion. It keeps you busy and makes you feel some what normal for the moment. I don’t shop on line because that’s way too easy for me to do some real damage so, if I really feel like shopping. I will no lie head over to the dollar store and buy a few things here and there. I get it out of my system and I’m done. I’ve done that just to get out of the house. It was a way of coping for me. Don’t get me wrong I could head over to the malls but, I don’t especially since I’m having trouble thinking straight too. That’s to much right now. I go and get my nails done. I can sit and relax for about an hour and that makes me feel good. On line games keep me busy too. Just started playing some word games on line with other players and Pogo has some fun games. I’m just waiting for this to pass also. Sounds like your doing the same. Don’t break the bank though haha you will be feeling better soon and you will be like. Why did I buy this? Hugs
I do almost all of my shopping online these days, including groceries. I have zero patience to be in stores looking at stuff while lights and music are blaring and I’m either overheated and sweaty or freezing cold and feeling faint. Never mind other people there, too. Being home and cosy all the way for me.
I used to like to shop but I hardly go anymore. I do online shopping but it’s only stuff that I use because I hate go to store to store to store. Retail therapy is nice at the time but days later feel bad for buying something I don’t need..
I also like many people have been bothered by the lights, but I thought I was the only person besides my husband that hates the music. It is good you meet another person that hates the music as well. Most everyone talks about the lights and I agree, but I say what about that horrible music blaring in the back ground it surely does bothers me.
One of my grandkids birthday was this weekend and youd think it was Christmas already with all his little trucks and toys.. I need a spot just for the Amazon truck that comes everyday lol!! I swear I’m keeping them in business…but I guess whatever makes it easier.
I’m glad you posted this! YES! I do it ALL the time! The same as you said, I didn’t realize it could be hormone driven or my super depression from all this and maybe shopping gives us a little temporary pleasure cause sure not getting it other wise! I am even doing the stupid top hatters auction it runs 90 sec and someone wins it good thing I make sure all bills are paid and food and such before I do any of it!
Don’t feel bad. I do all my shopping online these days. I didn’t really think about it until I read this post but when I started going through this horrendous mess that is also when I started shopping more online too. I buy clothes, supplements, food, gifts, etc all online. I am constantly on Amazon. I dread going shopping in the actual stores. The lights and long lines triggers frustration and sometimes my anxiety. I remember getting heat flashes under those lights and therefore feeling panicky. It’s not worth it to me to be bothered with store-shopping. You are not alone.
I total get the lights making you ill. Walmart is my worst store. I do all my shopping online especially the Christmas season. You could not pay me to be out there amongst the madness and stress, waiting in long lines. I feel like i am in the twilight zone
oh my goodness!!! thats me!!! I mostly been having terrible pain in my hips and down the back of my legs, anxiety and dont feel up to walking around the stores!! I just can not wait till this passes and I have my life back!! your not alone!!! prayers help me believe there is hope!!! hugs xo
Same with me dear
i donot feel going to market and start doing online shopping and now i am addicted too it…i usually buy things i donot need 
..wastage of money
Ladies WOW!!! Thanks for sharing.. It amazes me how we are all so much alike during this time..
yes! I have learned though, to fill up my online shopping cart and leave it for three days. In three days you can go back over it, none of it is usually even valid three days later, lol! the few things that are get ordered, and then I fill my cart again, and wait three days.
Me too! I like that awesome ideal a lady shared about leaving it in your cart for 3 days! Now why didn’t I think of that lol
Lol. I always put stuff in my online cart too and leave it there, then I get emails telling please come back and purchase your items ha ha…then I pretty much delete them by then..
Yes some things are a big waste of money, and then some its very convenient to get the items right to your door.. Just roll out of bed and open your boxes 
Me too lots of joint pains, want my life back too, its been a long painful ride.. I have yet to try and ride the rider shopping carts around, when I do go I just lean on my push cart for support in case I’m weak or feeling light headed or faint ..
Me too, Wal-Mart is my worst store as well.. I hear the lighting is unfiltered .. And that could be why it makes us more sensitive individuals worse.. All you have to do is google lights at Wal-Mart causing anxiety to be worse and read some of those forums they all say the same instantly sick, in the same
