Oh another thing, yesterday when she was talking about those tassle thingys (or maybe it was something else can’t remember) she said she’s just gone and ordered some more “before they sell out”.
I was watching a YouTube video about an influencer who was involved in a scam and that phrase came up, thats another tactic ppl use to try and sell products it makes people panic buy at the thought of missing out, before they get to really think about it and realise they don’t actually need it.
.
I had to do exactly this, stop myself and tell myself that I didn’t need it.
I’m ashamed to say that I still have a ridiculous collection of wax melts that I’m working my way through. I refuse to throw them away, and give away as much as I can to family and friends. I was buying those stupid
bleeping minky cloths in bulk so I wouldn’t miss out. It got to the point where I was buying absolutely everything, regardless of whether I needed it or not. My hubby threatened to cut my bank card in half.
I count myself lucky that I was able to pull away from it all, but if someone who has mental health issues finds themselves in the same situation, I can’t imagine it would be as easy for them to do.
