Thanks, Cindy.
I can give things away now, but it has been easy for me all along. I also have that anxiety about "what if I need it someday?" But I guess there is a difference in degree. In some ways, getting so fed up with myself and how awful I let my place get, has given me this new perspective of wanting to be free of stuff and clutter, and of how absurd my previous "what if" holding on to stuff was, especially since my "lifestyle" of the past few years has cost me extra money because of stuff I couldn't find, stuff that broke in the mess, stuff I couldn't do "normally", like regular old cooking in the kitchen and therefore resorting to buying take out food, etc. So all those things I saved in case I needed them didn't save any money at all because of the waste created by the messiness. So this leaves me with the feeling of wanting to keep everything as simple as possible. Since life is hard for me to manage, I need to keep the stuff to a minimum. Less to manage. Let's see if I can put that into practice.
I still have a ton more to do to get this place together. What I cleaned so far is just the minimum for the plumber to be able to get in the door and to the bathroom.
