I just have to let this out
I have a set of blue desk lights that used to be my pride and joy. I liked watching them light up the walls (it was beautiful) since then things have happened, trauma's got worse, more bad memories have been created, and the one thing I really don't want to see on my wall is those lights it's just... ugg. I suppose I have to think about taking them down and selling them. I'm not throwing them away, because they are still working |

It’s normal to want to change one’s environment when trying to recover from trauma. So it’s not that you no longer enjoy the blue lights but instead a very deep instinctual need to seek a different environment/location giving you a sense of distance from whatever traumatized you.

Take them off and put them away. At some point you might feel ok and would want them back up. I tend to get rid of things too quickly and then regret it
