i can totally admit to the 'clothes still new, hanging in your closet with the tags on them, never worn' bit...same for some of my LE make up...it's like it's just sitting there in the traincase
but retail therapy is so fun...

Omg, the part about shopping addiction being more akin to an impulse control disorder that a serial killer has than an obsessive compulsive disorder is so true! Its like theres that urge to shop that can't be quelled until I go out and do it!

OMG, i am guilty of all of them! The clothes, the shoes, the makeup...But it so true that shopping makes you feel good. Oh well, i am working on it.

I am guilty of the shoe thing...I have at least 5 pair of shoes in my closet that I have never worn..but I will!! Soon!!!!

Seriously, I have gotten much better about compulsive shopping...since I went back to school, I don't have time to shop (except for film/paper and art supplies for school!).

"What the patients will typically describe is they have a baseline preoccupation with shopping, they're always thinking about it, and a tension builds and they have to satisfy that tension by going out and shopping. That relieves the tension, at least for the time being," he says.

sounds like me, alright.
