Retail therapy is a very bad strategy for dealing with the dramas you're going through right now: you can't buy yourself out of the blues. So today, you need to avoid the mall and don't you dare get out your plastic to pay for anything! Any impulse buys you make today might provide a temporary relief of your symptoms, but they definitely won't deal with the underlying cause. Save your money for another day. Instead, take a walk or visit with a friend: for free.
