Yeah   so this   is   my alter ego…deal with it!

my response to Shopaholic?  summed up by the late great comedienne…SOPHIE TUCKER….

sez  she~~~

“From Birth to 18    a   girl needs  good parents!

From 18-36  she needs  good looks!

From 36-55 she needs a good personality!

From 55 on  she needs CASH”

so little Miss  I JUST GOTTA HAVE IT… see where this is going…K

sorry,   your  letter on  being a ’shopaholic’  just screamed for that title!

My first thoughts were O. C. D. [obsessive compulsive disease].

This is a personality disorder…which affects social skills and quality of life. You need behaviour modification  treatment therapy..

If you cant afford this and

God knows  you could not afford fortune cookies  at this point…

you have to ask yourself these questions,

Is it a quick fix  for the blahs?

Are your purchases  un-used  or hidden?

Are you feeling guillty about this behaviour?

Would your life be richer if you shopped less?

You are spending more than you can afford,   this we know.

There is a good book called  “I Shop therfore I AM!”

[finding your place in the world in a search for yourself]

by April Bensen, Phd.

It seems you are defining yourself by this obsession for ‘things’.

Remember this ” You can NEVER get enough - of what you don’t need” A. B., Phd

[Maybe go to the Library  and check out this book..before investing in Therapy~~~ Kate
