Shopoholics - a disease?

rose i wouldnt suggest just taking the anti depressants. a journal I read called psychology today has stated that they can be addictive. also if it helps give yourself a budget before you go shopping.



www.psychologytoday.com


is the site for the journal. i couldnt find the article but im sure you can find some good advice there
 
That is true, they can be addictive, but they can also save your life. Talk to your doctor, or better yet a psychiatrist, they can help you figure out what you need to do.
 
*hehe* I'd never take a pill for the shopping habit. Fortunately I can control it somewhat - I know I spend too much, but I'd never sacrifice my bills or family for such excessive spending. The antidepressant comment refers to other areas in my life that I'm trying to sort out.
 
*hehe* You might have caught it before I edited my post. I had the url tag wrong. Silly tags. But you must have caught it quick, I edited immediately. *lol*
 
ugh.
yet another way for people to refuse to accept responsibility for their actions.
"its not my fault, i have a shopping disorder"

:disgust:
