Being a shopaholic - a state of mind or a way of life?

Tweet

Most women love shopping, we all know that. But there are some who can't stop buying things even if they know they don't need those stuff. They say that they just feel this strong urge to buy, buy, and buy! Others, though, find it stress-relieving. It's as if it's an anti-depression sort of thing. How 'bout you? Do you think being a shopaholic, or at least shopping for stuff you know you don't need just to relieve stress, is just a state of mind or a way of life?
