Retail Therapy

I am a shopacholic. I always thought my ideal job would be being a personal shopper. Imagine, getting paid to spend someone elses money and spend time in the shops. I even like just window shopping, looking at things, trying things on and dreaming. lol

I actually read that it is one of the things people do for stress. It isn't something to cure it... It is actually a symptom! I was shocked! But finally, I have an answer for my shopping addiction. Now when my husband complains I tell him it's not my fault. Its a symptom of my stressful life. lol

I can relate to you, I had that thing as well.. shopping made me happy and whenever I would buy what I wanted I always wanted more... and it all ended when my daughter was brought into my life still about the same thing I shop but just not for me anymore but for clothes,shoes, accessories,toys, and everything that deals with her. It distresses me in some weird form.

That is not something I always think about when I am upset, I will usualy put on some calming music and take a nice nap or something. I do enjoy myself when shopping and have lots of fun at it when I am finding what it is I am lookign for. I might try it sometime when I am upset and see how well it helps.
