Anxiety throwing things away

[nemesis02]

Anxiety of throwing things away and know you do not want but keeps coming to mind at times

or giving away to charity do you at times get this?

Hi.

Yes I get this sometimes, I could get sentimental about a cardboard box if I thought about it for long enough.

Luckily I am usually able to throw whatever out sooner or later but I do understand it's harder for some.

I'm I seem to throw things away on day the bins are empty not sure if this is the best approach or I'ill  just go back and forwards getting out of the bin again what I really know deep down I don't want

If people have problems throwing things away then throwing things away just before the bins are emptied is a standard technique. It lessens the time you are tempted to retrieve an item from the bin.

What sort of items do you have problems throwing away?
