Retail Therapy

So, for no reason other than a need to bounce back from disappointment I went shopping after work. I should have run but instead went to the store. Does anyone else pacify situations by retail therapy? My boyfriend of 3 years breaks up with me - I go straight to Trader Joe's. I'm stressed out about deadlines at work - I go to Sephora. I haven't had a date in 6 months - I go to TJ Maxx. The mess in my home is overwhelming - I go to Target. What gives? I wonder if I will even keep all that I bought. I'm already having second thoughts about some of it, but enjoyed the purchase process. I guess you could say, I was fighting recession and exercising my consumer rights. At least that's justifiable enough for me to continue doing it...
