HELP!!!!!!! I Need to go to Shop-a-holics Anonymous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aaack! I have a horrible problem :(. No matter how much stuff I buy, I always want more...I have so much crap stuffed in my closet I can barely get the door shut, but I can't stop buying clothes! Everyone's always telling me to get rid of some of those clothes I don't wear, and I'll start to do that...but all I ever end up doing is looking through my closet and thinking, "Well, I might want to wear this shirt some day, and that shirt isn't very old, and this shirt is really cute so I don't know why I never wear it..."

I'm scared to ever get a credit card because I know I'll end up being 1,395,486,923,094,239,390 dollars in debt! :O The worst part is I won't have a job until this summer, cause I didn't think I could juggle school and a job and still keep my grades up. So my parents are really the victims in all this...every time I go shopping with my mom, she spends all the money on me...she never buys anything for herself :(. I feel like the worst daughter in the world! I'm such a brat, and yet I can't stop shopping. It seriously is an addiction. I can't really describe it, but if you've ever been addicted to shopping, then you know what I'm talking about.

I guess I just want to know if anyone else has this problem, and what I can do to quit. Please help!!! :(

Date: 4/21/2003 5:12:00 PM  From Authorid: 53052    yoru going through a "me me me" phase.. i really think what willhelp you break it is to go through your closet and give away all that stuff that you haven't worn or used in the past 6 months either to friends or put it in a consignment store  
Date: 4/21/2003 5:30:00 PM  From Authorid: 37449    everygirl has it   
Date: 4/21/2003 5:51:00 PM  From Authorid: 44321    Maybe you can have mom say no to you,even if you beg and plead for that new item   
Date: 4/21/2003 6:04:00 PM  From Authorid: 54155    LOL I went shopping today...how often do you go? Its not that bad if u splurge every once in a while. You can't be a brat or that BIG of one if you admit it. I agree with Midnighty...give away stuff that you haven't worn in the past 6 months to a year....trust me...its easier to spend another persons money opposed to your own. When you get your own job...you'll cut down a bit...and remember you can NEVER have enough shoes. SHOES ARE GOOD!!!!! *drools* omg, I bought the cutest pair of blue vans today...they remind me of when I was little and they will match perfect with the pants I bought. What are your favourite brand names? Ilove Silver, Billabong, Dish.....oooh Mia Shoes are nice!!!!!!!!!! LOL WE SHOULD GO SHOPPIG SOMETIME!!! I don't think you ahve any big problem. Hope u get better tho   
Date: 4/21/2003 7:56:00 PM  From Authorid: 60395    tell your parents and DONT let them buy you more stuff and if that dont work get a bigger closet (joking on the 2nd one) *MusicGirl*  
Date: 4/22/2003 12:04:00 PM  From Authorid: 50058    Tell your parents to say no every once and a while and start a bank acount to put your money in. Don't let yourself take any out.
Date: 4/22/2003 5:48:00 PM  From Authorid: 52489    Your problem is Compulsive Buying, and there are several organizations for your problem. Talk to your school counselor and ask for help on finding such a group. If you doubt, you can take a test on this website: http://www.me.essortment.com/shopaholic_rxfm.htm
OR, read the following article: http://www.indiana.edu/~engs/hints/shop.html

Good luck! --Arion1
  
Date: 4/22/2003 6:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 20956    god, you sound like me! i could shop 24-7 and i'd still find more stuff to buy .... clothes are my weakness, i cant buy enough! i dont go a week without buying ATLEAST one item of clothing and the stuff i buy isnt cheap at all. Yep, i am shop-a-holic too ..... i am going shopping in my lunch break in, oh about 30 mins!!   
Date: 5/8/2003 7:13:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 31048    Thanks for your help everyone! Just so you all know, my mom told me a few weeks ago that I can't go shopping for a month. That'll learn me, eh?? Hehe I think I might be getting a little better. Thanks again, guys   
Date: 5/8/2003 7:16:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 31048    LOL Trac, it's nice to see a person who appreciates a good shopping trip as much as me! Hehe...I don't really have any specific favorite brands...if it's cute, I buy it! I think l.e.i. has really cute shoes though. Aaah, shoooes.
