Any of you ever just start getting rid of all your shit?

[byec560]

I've developed a little bit of a bad habit recently of selling/donating/giving away my possessions. It started when I was having one of my stupid crashouts and I spontaneously decided that I was going to throw away all of my drawings and sketchbooks because I didn't want people to see them after I died. Then I started plotting the sale of my collectibles, and after that I donated my entire book collection. I've been using the excuse that I'm moving (which is true provided I don't CTB before then), but I wonder how long people will keep believing that. Now that I've calmed down I don't know if I have the guts to kill myself because I didn't have the courage to follow through last time and I just went to crazy jail. But I've kept on doing it because I kinda like the empty feeling I get after getting rid of something that I like. Almost as if I'm working toward something. Anybody else have similar experiences?

I've started giving away some of my things to family members, and selling other things. I have so much stuff I just don't care to use anymore.

I don't even have much to give away to begin with. If I keep doing it my apartment is gonna start looking really empty really fast. Careful what you say when you give away your shit. Good way to earn a psych ward stay if you're not careful.

Well I would sell them for market value and not give them away

There's something that has kept me stable before about donating or selling or giving away all the meaningless possessions I have that I do not need, so yes there is a niceness to it. Even if I'm not actively wanting to CTB it is freeing.

I want to get rid of so much but I have a hoarding problem because I have attachments and feel like I might need something one day. I even hoard garbage like cart wrappers because it's too much to throw them away for some reason.

My room is so crowded with dirty clothes too because since I hoard clothes too I have enough to last me a month or more. So I don't do laundry for that whole time. I want to cut back on clothing but I just can't.

I been going through shit these past few weeks and getting rid of stuff. Some things I'll put to the side and decide later if I really need it or not.

Since I'm planning on leaving soon, I'm trying to get rid of a majority of stuff I have.
