Shopping Addiction Support Group

Oniomania (also known as shopping addiction), is the compulsive desire to shop. Similar to other compulsive behaviors, sufferers often experience the highs and lows associated with addiction. The purchase generates a mood of satisfaction, gives their life meaning, and lets them forget about their sorrows.

A jacket
3 shirts
5 tops
2 cardigans
a pair of jeans
a hat
2 cds
and lots of pop tarts!

I spent 160 on clothes alone and 200 in total

All because I handed my assignments in 15 minute late and may now only get a minimum pass mark.

I needed retail therapy!


Anyway the point of this post is to make you guys feel better because I spent waaaaaaaaay too much today!

I hope y'all had a spend free day!

Today I brought 4 pairs of shoes (sandals-online). Don't ask me why, I just knew I had to have them and they were 'on sale'. I still eneded up spending almost $200.

Last night I bought makeup from MAC website. It's the first time I've bought some in two years. I'm starting school next week and I'm not going looking like a hot mess. I feel NO guilt!

Arggghhhhh! Thats incrediable! I am writing down everything I buy and since doing it I wont buy a thing!
I will miss retail therapy especially because me and my boyfriend aren't seeing eye to eye.
But if I save I can go overseas and then enjoy a bargain in another country! I have plenty of online overseas purchases but no stamps in my passport to show!

Today is the first full official day of my writing everything down and 'no spending' I bought a small sweet tea from McDonald's. That was it. Packed my lunch and refused to even go in the mall. That is a definite step in the right direction but I am no where near 'there' yet.

    I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
