Me...and my disorders!


Off late I have become such a shopaholic...I have been shopping every time I go to the mall, small things but yeah still shopping. I was never like this. Although, G still says that I am not a shopaholic, but I have a gut feeling that I am.

I suddenly want so many things...a trip to UK next year, is my first priority; more shoes; more make-up; I want the best clothes for work...and the list goes on. And every time I shop, I have this guilt feeling for days. But I just don't seem to stop...I think its a disorder or something.

And I have another disorder...I have fear of public speaking, the other day, my hands and feet went cold and my face started twitching while I was addressing my colleagues, now I understand why they call it 'having cold feet'. I hated it! And I don't even know when did I develop this. And I was shivering after that for a very long time. The thing is that in my profession this is not allowed! I felt so ashamed, but I have to overcome it anyway.

why feel guilty after shopping ! you work hard to earn your money and you totally DESERVE to spend it on anything you want ! i can understand you feeling guilty if you are spending someone else's money (does NOT include yours and you husband's money, that's YOURS to blow)

i'm actually getting mad at you lol... because sweetheart you work for your money and life is too short to feel guilty about things that make you happy..

obviously if you are blowing up so much that's making you compromise on FOOD like buying bread and stuff (lol) then it's a serious problem :p

Shopping is a basic necessity of a woman's life. Period. No guilt pangs!

about public-speaking...I always thought you spoke very well - be it one-on-one or to a group of people. I'm sure you WILL overcome it..practice makes a (wo)man perfect, the more you do it, the better you will get...I strongly believe!

Now go shop, buy some hot office wear and talk your ass off the next time you get a chance. Trust me, you speak well! that is one of the things that stand out about you

Have fun!

public spkg is indeed challenging..i agree..i went thru the same like u.so i joined indo-american public spkg course in mumbai.cant say it helped..but i found that best way to conquer fear is to face it headlong. a dog chases me, i run. then at one place, i cant run more, i stop, turn and tell..come u idiot, it starts running..what say??

To The Lover I guess you guys a right, I have to stop feeling that way.

To R. Ramesh I know I have to face it and conquer it. And I will...I am sure of that. Thanks for your support!
