“The past few years I was extremely stressed out dealing with helping my elderly dad on a non stop basis, personal issues, getting two dogs for my son (that stay downstairs) gaining weight on antidepressants before Covid, etc. I started to self medicate buy shopping on Amazon way too much, especially after my father who was my only living parent (no grandparents) had passed away last year. I was physically and mentally checked out and wasn’t tidy anymore. “Shopping therapy” got out of control. Everything was cluttered even though I still kept things “clean” such as doing laundry, dishes, vacuuming fur up everyday downstairs, etc. Now I’m starting to throw junk away, donate my smaller sized clothing and extra shoes to a refugee family (which was like Christmas for them), foster facilities, and to the Goodwill.
I now realize that I don’t need my dad’s expensive medical equipment that paid for (walkers, etc) cluttering my garage. I can part with items now after learning my personality type. I now understand that the money has already been spent and I can re-home my shopping spree items. I can finally see my kitchen table again and now I’m working on the upstairs of my home. Thanks so much for helping me to
give myself PERMISSION to part with items that are no longer needed!”
