I think that my bag shopping is getting out of hand. I already have at least 100 bags but I still want to buy some more, especially if there are limited releases. My husband told me to sell the others that I am not using but I can't just let go of my beloved bags. Help me. What should I do?
Too much bag shopping

Oh...that's too much!! You must be suffering from some sort of addiction...bagaholic as they say. I actually almost reach the point that I can't stop myself from buying bags. All my monthly incomes were used to purchase online until one day, I lost my job and realized that I wasn't able to save. So that made me decide to stop this foolishness. I actually don't know how to help you stop this addiction. If you think it has become worse already, then you should be taking to a specialist that specializes addiction. Not really sure...that's just my opinion.
Listen to your husband and let go of the bags you don’t use. You’ll feel
Much better decluttering. One bag at a time then see how you feel.

My thoughts: first step: don't buy new bags: cancel your credit cards except for one. Cancel email subscriptions. Don't browse the web for new stuff and don't go to the mall. Eliminate the temptation!
Second step: do you really use >100 bags? Can you name every single bag you have? Put the ones you don't remember in a box in the basement and let them sit for 6 months. If you have no urge to use them: let them go. Maybe ask your husband to take them to consignment for you.
Maybe you should seek professional help.

Thank y'all for your helpful comments especially Stansy. I really appreciate your reasonable advice to help me with my situation. I think that I do have an addiction. It's just hard to admit that I have a problem. It's like buying bags is my avenue to release tension for the times that I feel empty. I'll look into seeking professional help soon after reading all of your advice and that article.
You might want to consider leaving TPF for awhile. Vlad can deactivate your membership for 6-12 months. This place is not good for those that really have a serious addiction. It's just filled with enablers (with the best of intentions, but enablers nonetheless)
100 bags. Where do you put them all? I have less than 10 and that’s enough for me. How do you decide which one to use? Way too many choices. Are these all high end bags like Chanel or Hermes? How long have you been collecting bags? 100? Wow. [emoji54]
