Wayne Dyer mentioned in a recent pbs seminar he ordered his admin assistant to get rid of all non essentials in his life. That included many awards, accolades, his book collection, his fancy suits, his fancy furniture.

It is an emotional and mental problem and so you are right in what started when your daughter left for college in your heart and mind is now manifested in your home. Oprah has done several shows about this problem.

Thanks for sharing that info though, I am going to be printing all of this out so I have all the helpful hints with me as I try to start muddling through.
Several of the symptoms that you listed hit home for me. That is what I don't think some people realize, if it was as simple as just getting up and doing it, we wouldn't be having this conversation!
Thanks friend!
I won't tell you the number of symptoms that hit home for me...ouch! I totally empathize with your frustration with people that seem to have the inability to grasp why you "hoard".
One day, I am going to have a huge garage sale and treat myself to a shopping spree with the proceeds!

Would that be a former admin assistant?

I value my AFF membership. I appreciate the friendship, the fun an the fellowship. I am grateful for those who tolerate me here. Therefore, I cannot, and will not, deny nor confirm who, if anyone, is depicted in the graphic in question.

Waiting for the Lord is easy... Waiting patiently? Not so much.
Keep what is important and give the rest away... whether it's to Salvation Army or Battered Women's Thrift Store...
Notice I didn't say Sell it... because if you sell it the emotional ties might bring some guilt...but if you give it away you are doing it for a worthy cause...helping somebody else in need....
Don't give something foolish away tho.... if it can bless you tremendously count it as a gift from whoever gave it to you... but as for the rest....give it away..and you'll feel blessed..
