Overcoming guilt & sad feelings
Compulsive Shopping
Many people who compulsively shop do so as a coping mechanism to mask difficult emotions like stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. But shopping only provides temporary relief from their struggles. Their inability to control their shopping eventually commonly leaves them with an overwhelming sense of guilt and shame.
Eating disorders
Eating disorders may manifest with eating faster than normal, eating until they are uncomfortable, eating when they are not physically hungry, and feel embarrassed, disgusted, or depressed because of the binges. People with this type of eating disorder may be overweight or obese.
Overwhelm
Emotional overwhelm is a state of being beset by intense emotion that is difficult to manage. It can affect your ability to think and act rationally. It could also prevent you from performing daily tasks. Emotional overwhelm may be caused by stress, traumatic life experiences, relationship issues, and much more.
