Description
Six months ago, my father disappeared without any news. Since then, my mother has delegated me a host of responsibilities that depress me. To cheer myself up, I sometimes take things that don't belong to me. From my family, from my friends and from work, too. Insignificant things that people won't regret. At least, that's what I tell myself afterwards to give myself a clear conscience. Despite everything, the guilt eats away at me. No matter how much I promise myself that I won't do it again, it's stronger than me. The shame that inhabits me is far from being able to compete with the excitement that I feel each time I take action. So, I take more and more risks and, the other day, I almost got caught. What if my friends found out the truth? What will happen to me when my loved ones realize that I don't deserve their trust? . Kleptomania is a rather rare impulse control disorder that affects women in particular and usually appears in adolescence. The person affected is unable to resist the urge to steal. Many prejudices and taboos surround this form of addiction for which there are few studies and treatments.
