Fashion needs an edge; control maybe?

Asking yourself the following questions can help you determine whether you have a compulsive buying problem or not (shopaholic is such a judgmental word, i refuse to use it). 

True or False?

1) My closet has unopened shopping bags in it

2) My closet has clothes with their price tags still on them

3) I have clothes that I have never worn

4) I buy things I do not need

5) I consider myself an impulsive shopper

6) When I am feeling depressed or bored, I usually go shopping

7)  I get a rush when I make a purchase, but experience a low after I go home

8) Even though I’m short on money, I still go shopping

9)  I lie to my friends and family about how much money I spend

10) I often feel reckless and out of control when I shop

11) I buy things to cheer myself up/reward myself

12) I feel guilty after shopping

13) Shopping makes me feel powerful

14) My relationship with family/friends is suffering because of my buying habits
