i have always loved to shop but this last year i have been unable to stop. i find myself buying things that i do not need and that i would have never purchased a year ago. i don't know what to do and i am afraid that my friends and family will be angry with me if they knew. help me.
shopping: my love and my deamon

well i don't really know how these things go. does this really help you? i cant stop shopping and i spend a lot of money all of the time (actually most of the money i saved for school :( ) i used to hardly spend any money but this past year i have been spending so much on really expensive things like a purse that i paid over $400 for but it was like half off so it was a good buy but i know that it isn't a good buy unless you can afford it. i would have never done that before. i also spent like $2500 in one sitting at the computer! i don't know what is happening to me. i have been planning a wedding for like a year now and that is really stressful but that is no excuse. i don't want to tell friends and family because i think that they would be angry with me. what do i do? how do i get better?

yea i love shoes!!! i have about 60 pairs right now! they are all colors and styles and i have matching purses for most of them! in fact i just purchased 8 pairs of shoes, they were kind of expensive, however. i really have a shopping problem i am not joking. i don't know what to do about it. my dream is to have at least 400 pairs of shoes.

that is me 2. i have to buy shoes (and other articles of clothing and purses but mostly shoes) or i can't sleep at night. i always try on many of my shoes before i go to bed just so i can sleep and i keep them all in the box with tissue paper in them just like when they were new. they are my babies i guess. lol
