Decluttering issues

Hi,I'm wondering if someone on here could possibly help me with a recent situation.I have chosen to start having a sort out of paperwork.Decluttering through emotions.I've worked with cbt before i feel the anxiety and fear is sky high within me today.I went out last night and my daughter and with the help of my partner thought they would help by trying too sort it out.I experience high levels of anxiety and fear.Although at present loss maybe the day my father died i was having a declutter and there is some kind of attachment.I write so have lots of journals and pieces of paper with positive affirmations.It's the not knowing of what has gone in the bin.Hypnosis has helped me make wonderful personal achievements and to want to work through my emotions was a big step.That i was ready to take the next step.I'm very upset today trying to rationalize my feelings.My Partner has never understood Ocd.I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced similar and how it can be hard work in relationships.I'm still in shock at the moment this has actually happened..

When I declutter, I feel better. It's like throwing away stuff I don't need is a way for me to throw away thoughts that I don't need. When my house is messy and cluttered, my mind is cluttered. So if you are trying to declutter, maybe you could think of it that way. "If you don't use it, refuse it." that's my motto.
