Rabbanit Yemima says if you're sad, pick yourself up and go shopping! Of course I am sure she means within your budget, otherwise you'll end up sadder...
wadr to the Rabbanit, this can be terrible advice. Retail therapy is seldom effective and can result in feelings of guilt, to say nothing of a cluttered home. I'm surprised that the advice wasn't "do something nice for somebody else."

I LOVE shopping (for myself and others) I'm pretty content. Don't think it stems from lack of happiness.
