Well the tile says most of it. Finding it hard to even take my own advice these days. I think I like buying clothes to look good and think I will look better and feel better about myself.I forget I've bought things earlier in the week.More and more clothes.I'm not in debt as I mostly go cheap clothes shopping but I spend so much time thinking about buying them and going to the shops.I find few other hobbies interest me even the one's that used to.It just gets worse.
I have depression and had neglect as a child.I've gone over it with a counsellor who didn't say much. Thank you Posted on 09/26/09, 10:09 am |

I buy more clothes than I could ever wear. I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and I rarely leave the house. I often spend days even weeks in bed. I wear pajamas most of the time.
I realized one day that it wasn't the clothes that attracted me it was the life that went with the clothes. I do all my shopping on-line so I see the clothes on models and they're doing things that I can't do. That realization has helped but I still want to shop. I make up all kinds of excuses why I need/deserve whatever it is I just simply want. I'm glad I'm not alone. It always helps to know others share your trials. Try another counselor. You don't always find the right one the first time. I'm sorry you were neglected as a child. I was just the opposite. My parents over protected me and it took me years to grow up. They loved me but never let me try something and fail or succeed. They always said I couldn't do (?) because I'd get hurt or be disappointed. In other words, I would fail. My kids are all well adjusted and productive so I must have done something right. Especially with my daughter. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. Let your inner child come out and play. I learned that by joining a Red Hat Society group. To me it's like playing dress up. It also unleashes my inner "Drama Queen". It's fun. I have one closet dedicated to my Red Hat wardrobe. Surprise!!! Hang in there. One day at a time. You are not alone.
