This may just be my depression and anxiety rearing its ugly head (or the fact I am currently watching "What the Health"), but...does anyone else get a

feeling of existential dread..even from a "productive", "happy" thing like cleaning and organization?

For me, seeing all the stuff I have wasted money on over time, the entropy of it all..right in my face..how much of my life force I have gifted to companies who care not a toss for me..How much SCHTUFF I thoughttt would make me happy, but didn't, the advertising lies I believed...

Idk..it has made me far more of a minimalist, I tell you what. I told someone yesterday..I was tempted to burn it all down and walk away with all I can fit into a small (Marc Jacobs tho, bc why sacrifice style) backpack. Sadly, I am someone who requires climate control and plumbing....

I think that’s why a lot of hoarders never thow their stuff away because of the shame and depression they get when face with it. It’s good that you know for yourself and can deal with it
