| If you’ve ever completed a major decluttering project, have you experienced re-cluttering anxiety afterwards? Please describe your experience and how you’ve tried to manage this feeling. | I feel like I am not allowed to buy anything else ever again and when I do I feel guilty. For example, I gave most of my books away but ended up purchasing a set of 10 books that I loaned out that were never returned. I love the series and will reread, but still second guess myself for buying the which is really bad since I used Christmas money gifted to me to do so and because I had decluttered so much I have room on my bookcase. |
