I find shopping therapeutic. I don't just go to a shopping mall or start browsing products in an online store when I am feeling down or I am stressed out, however, whenever I go shopping and buy products, I feel lighthearted, I feel relaxed, I feel pleasant. Has anyone tried shopping as a therapy? Even if you have not tried shopping as a therapy, have you experienced pleasure after shopping?
