Can You Throw It Out?

As I get ready to move in the next year or so,I have already started to clean out stuff, Throw out or sell the stuff I never use . I saved up so much junk, so time to clean house, in the mood to part with stuff.

Do you keep everything or are you able to part with stuff?

I used to be a real hoarder. “Oh these boxes of papers from school 3 years ago? Might need it”
But now I’m more flexible. I keep what’s important and part with the rest.

I hadn’t cleared out clutter since moving to this house in December 2011. My sza had me in a fog. But when the Zyprexa started making me clearer headed, I looked around in disgust at all the clutter there was. Four carloads of good stuff to Goodwill and a few bags of trash for the stuff that wasn’t worthy of donating. Feels much better now!

I used to hoard, but I’ve lost so many things while homeless that now I don’t get as attached to objects.

I parted with a bunch of stuff over the past month, we had a HUUUUGE garage sale. Still have a LOT left. I say this looking at the boxes we haven’t unpacked yet because we’re not sure where we’re putting it! Our new place is smaller than our old place by about 1000 sq ft, which sucks.

Going to start putting stuff on the local Buy and Sell, methinks.

I use to go to markets and car boot sales and buy all sorts of stuff.

More recently I don’t have many possessions as my life is pretty digital in focus these days so my laptop has all my junk

I’ve thrown out valuables while mentally ill. That I regret. So, I don’t like to go through my things unless I’m sure I’m together mentally.

I still can’t find where our coasters got to, getting yelled at by Mrs. Squirrel because I leave rings on the coffee table. Thinking of ordering these.

Part with things. Have a garage sale and sell all you don’t need or rent a storage space.

I throw out as often as possible. I travel light. I can’t afford to carry along a bunch of stuff with my negative symptoms.

Yeah, I wish. Bunch of premium kitchen cupboard space taken up by wife’s grandmother’s crystal that is only to be looked at and not used.

I had to give up a lot of my things when I moved to live with my x boyfriend.
They went to second hand shop.

I Am lending furniture from family now or maybe they gave some of it to me.
