I've known for awhile that I'm addicted to shopping. I just haven't admitted it to anyone. I go long stretches without shopping (because frankly, we're broke a lot of the time) but when I have money, look out Lane Bryant and Walmart! I used to be addicted to jewelry shopping. I guess I still am to a point. My shopping addiction has gotten me into a lot of trouble in the past. I've dropped $4000 on fine jewelry and then was forced to pawn it for $300. I was heartbroken, but at the time I had no income and had to pay bank fees.
I love clothes shopping. I really do. I usually shop at Lane Bryant or Dressbarn, with occasional purchases at Walmart. I love my own personal style. It may not always be current according to plus-size fashions but I feel good in them. My latest obsession is Sweater Dresses, leggings or tights, and my boots. I carefully match the right jewelry, and presto! I think I'm a movie star.
I really need to find a part time admin job so I can keep up with the terrible urges associated with this addiction. Now I know that wpending money you don't have is a bi-product of being Bipolar, so I feel like I can justify it by saying, "hey, I'm bipolar, I can't help it." But I think it may be more than that. I can't possibly be manic every time I feel the need to shop. Who knows though, right?
