Ok girls..
So.. I'm addicted to shopping.
Yesterday I went shopping and I spend 5,000$ in six hours. ermm.gif
My brother says I should talk to a psychologist because I probably spend so much money because I'm not mentally fullfiled so I buy so many things.
It's not that I buy clothes and stuff only for myself, I bought alot of stuff for my bro and for my son.

Do u think that it's probably a psychological prob?
Has this happened to you?

thanks in advance for all your replies.

^um no, I'm not charging away. My brother says that the prob is not the prices or the money that I spend. He's ok with that but he thinks that it's just insane to buy all the time clothes and shoes and bags when I've millions. I also buy for him alot of stuff but he does think that ther's something wrong with that.

one day he went to buy a shirt he wanted from Prada but he had forgotten his wallet but then the girls there were like:" Oh there is no problem u can have it and pay later, we adore your sister she's so sweet and she comes very often"

He's so angry right now. He took all my credit cards and my purse. He's os mean right now, I dunno why.

He showed me abook where it says that many people who shop alot try to feel happy by buying a lot of stuff although they are depressed. Do u think this is right? I worry.. sad.gif

yea he's right that's too much regardless if you have the money, and if you don't then that's just as bad, but any who if you feel the need to HAVE to shop just to make you happy and you do it like that then definately have it checked out. i used to be like that, and it was because of problems i had and luckily i faced them head on right away. You are capable of doing it, and at least you are somewhat realizing that it is a problem (?) because spending that that is really unnecessary and a bit too extreme don't you think? -just to make you feel like you are happy, there's other ways of making you happy than spending 5000 in 6 hours, yea i can do that too but i don't because its silly and a waste. just follow your brother's advice and see someone just at least once, or a couple of times see if you like it and if it helps, and if it doesn't then stop. least your brother will feel better that you are getting help, that's if you want to of course.
