So, this past week I have been cleaning out my bedroom and preparing to move into a room downstairs in my parents house. Also, I have started dating a guy and he would love to come over to my house and meet the family, but until recently I have denied the fact that I am a hoarder... I believe this guy wanting to come over to my house really gave me the motivation I needed to clean my room out. So, I realized I definitely am a hoarder and it was overwhelming to me. I ended up getting rid of about 90% of the stuff in my bedroom. It was a mixture of being overwhelmed by all the stuff, the new guy in my life, and just not wanting all the stuff anymore. My issue is the holidays are right around the corner and I keep telling everyone I don't want anything for Christmas... because I really don't. I don't want anymore stuff... I'm afraid of this phase ending and going back to compulsively buying stuff and letting it all pile up again. Any suggestions or comments? I'll be happy to read them
