Just a warning. Shopping obsessions are an efficient distraction from stress and anxiety. They work very very well. Just as food obsessions work well, and sex obsessions work well, and health obsessions work well.
Overall, obsessions as distractions aren't a bad thing IMO. But shopping obsessions can do horrible things to your finances. Food obsessions can lead to health problems. Sex obsessions can lead to relationship problems. Etc.
I'm waiting to discover an obsession that will be as effective, but cause less damage to the foundations of my life. Babble obsession is as close as I've found. :)
