am i a shopaholic???

geeeezzz……it’s been awhile….. yes, i confess. i am a shopaholic or better still a compulsive buyer. and every time i find myself in front of any store, big or small, i swear you can visually see my pupils dilate with excitement and feel my adrenalin pumping through my heart. there is something about the latest tech & gadgets, signature clothes, shoes, bags, DVDs, books, etc that bring out the demon in me.
shopping is my passion in life next to internet and people. cant imagine a life without shopping ? i enjoy the buzz of shopping and looking for things. this is my real high. yet, it’s ruining me financially and psychologically. i see a lot of stuffs i bought untouched, complete with tags and plastic. i am accumulating large quantities of unnecessary, unwanted items.
i am aware of my problem. i even ask those close to me to literally drag me away from the store whenever i have that terrible urge to buy. so far it didn’t help.
and everytime i say NO to a certain product and walked out of the shop, i keep on thinking about it. it’s like an itch inside me that i need to scratch and i can’t sleep because of the itch! i need to go back to the store and buy it. but when it is finally mine, it will be stashed away in some dark corners of my cabinet and be remembered only after an obligatory clean up of my closet full of long forgotten stuffs i bought!
who said shopping is a breeze? it is an artform, ventured forth only by some Maniacal Human Being bent on putting some Demented Form of Punishment onto one self. ( highs and lows like suffered by schizos…… high when you buy, low when the whopping VISA/Mastercard bill comes!!).
good gracious grief……… i still cant get over "SALE" everywhere!!!!
help!!! help!!! help!!!
