Wth is wrong with me? (details inside)?!


Question: Wth is wrong with me!? (details inside)!?
Ok so, lately I bought this hat and 10 shirts!. I now want to buy these earrings and chain!. Its like I cant stop spending money!. Even when I go out in public, its like I get nervous if my shirt is a little too tight or if it hangs a certain way, or if my pants dont look right!. It seems that everytime I buy something, I think of something else to buy and its driving me crazy!. I never used to be like this EVER!. I used to love baggy clothes, but now its like I think I look weird in baggy clothes and look sloppy!. I used to be chubby but now im losing weight!. What is causing me to change like this!? I used to wear big clothes to hide my fat and stuff!. Now its like I like this "form fitting" dress style where you can buy a smaller shirt with baggier jeans!. Im 16 years old!.

Its like all I think about is what kind of clothes I should buy or what I should get!. I get paid by my parents and grandparents for mowing their lawn!. I even started selling stuff to make money!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
hang in there, there's no need to be so anxious!
take a deep breath and relax!
you have previously experienced anxiety from school experiences and this insecurity has passed from your eating habits to your shopping habits!.
there is nothing WRONG with you though! many people experience anxiety and insecurity every day!.
we also live in a very materialistic society where men have started caring more than usual about how they look!.

is a great, great site that will guide you through on spending less!

just remember that everyone goes through hardship and it is important to overcome that hardship so you can continue on a happy life!

look in the mirror everyday and come up with at least 5 compliments to tell yourself (i'm sure there's WAY more than 5 good things to say about you!)

good luck with everything =]Www@Answer-Health@Com

sounds like your very self cautious!.!.!.try doing something to get your mind off of it!.!.!.try not to care what others think and how they see you!. i know, easier said than done!.!.
if you pretend to be confident, then eventually thats what youll become!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think you are misplacing your energy and anger and channeling it into shopping!. Try talking about it with someone and work out feelingsWww@Answer-Health@Com

You feeling frustrated and this is shown through your shopping habits!. You need to get out, join a club or volunteer at a place where there are people your age, or even just people!. You will develop social relationships and this will relief your anxiety a bit!. What about trying to get back into a different school!? Staying at home will do nothing to elevate your anxiety!. You need to get out and into school or work, any environment with people outside of your family, where you can build social relationships that you can feel good about and success in work/grades that will also make you feel good!.

And you need to realize that clothes will not make people like you (most people at least)!. It seems like you're trying to find a style that will make people like you, or make you acceptable!. A casual style is fine, like a tee and jeans!. You're a guy, so that's fine!. You can build your wardrobe with sweaters and cool sneakers later, but you need to stop shopping for a while!.

Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes your anxiety is still Whit you you need to do something that you can't over do but still enjoy!. also its good to have a friend or group that can help you!. see if you can find some one who has the same problem and work together!.

don't spend money keep it in a place where you can control the limits of your spending like a bank!. that's what i did!. all my money goes into a bank that i can't use till I'm 18!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it's awesome that you are loosing weight, but it's really not ok to compulsivly buy things, you need to talk to your parents or some trusted adult and figure out why you have these feelings!.!.!. you obviously care about yourself which is good, so i'm sure there are plenty of others out there waiting to care as much as you do!.!.!. so don't let spending money be a cover for the true problems you are having, be honest with yourself and others so you can enable yourself to better yourself!.!.!. good luck and best wishesWww@Answer-Health@Com
