In the course of my recovery I've explored feelings of self deprivation and feeling unworthy.
In some contexts, hanging onto items because I can get use out of them even though they cause me added trauma feels like self deprivation to me.
I remind myself that I live in an abundant society and I can experience that abundance myself.
With that said I have a piece of jewelry. I plan on having it turned into something new for me. Perhaps you could use those items for art or honor them in a manner that doesn't involve wearing the items.
