Harley,
Reading your post was like looking in a mirror! I am a compulsive bag, shoe, cosmetic purchaser...I do it because I think it will fill some void. And yet. Nothing does. What is even weirder is that my husband and I live in NYC, and are planning to move to Hong Kong in the fall. For two years. We just returned from a trip there (where I bought a vintage Gucci I probably won't even wear). I buy, and buy, get so excited and anxious, I check the tracking information compulsively, and then feel instant regret. I am 28 yrs old and own more handbags than any girl should. You name the designer, I own the bag. I have 5 Hermes bags, and instead of being thankful I own 3 birkins, a kelly, and a trim.... all I can think about is when I will get my next birkin. Its sick.
You sound like a self loather, just like me. Maybe people are right, maybe we shouldn't be so hard on ourselves. But its hard not to be.
