Shopping Withdrawals
I haven’t written in a while because I’ve been in a foul mood lately. No, it’s not the weather, it’s not the time of year, it’s not my family or my upcoming trip to Boston. It’s shopping withdrawal. Yes, I know how silly that sounds, but for those of you who snicker when you read this, I don’t think you understand just how much of an addiction I’m dealing with.
I’m not physically sick, but mentally I’ve been moderately depressed. I lie in bed most nights, surfing the net and watching TV. I’ve stopped talking to my sister as much as we used to (we used to call each other at least 4 times a day, now I’m down to call her 4 times a week). It’s sad really. I wish I could snap out of it. Or as my sister suggested, channel my energy into something else, but there’s nothing else that I want to do. I don’t have the energy to exercise. I wish I did.
This is the bag I want:
It’s Valentino and costs $2,000. Yes, I know that’s ridiculous. But it’s beautiful and would make me happy. Why? I don’t know. I just know that my life would be complete once I had it in my arms.

Hang in there; I know you can do it! Remember that people with other addictions usually can’t quit cold turkey and very often have extensive support aids, rehab, etc. You need the shopping equivalent to Nicorette gum – Shopperette gum!
Are there any freebies you could sign up to receive so at least you feel like you are getting something? What about learning to sew? I’ve seen people make some pretty cool clothes/bags. You could be like Jenny on Gossip Girl! Hang in there! I have faith in you!
