I'm 20 and every time I spend money, I get this really nasty guilt-like feeling, almost like a panic attack. I was at the mall a few days ago and I spent ten minutes contemplating whether or not I should buy a $5 smoothie, I eventually got too anxious and walked away.
The thing is, I'm not even broke!! I have a lot saved up, and my expenditures are extremely low (since I don't pay rent or bills). I'm grateful for what I have, but I can't stop the feeling of guilt every time I spend anything over $2. Do I need to see a therapist?
