Does anyone else hate change even when you’re happy about the change?
I’m trying to sit here and not let my anxiety explode because I’m pleased to be moving bedrooms again. I will have more space. Why do I get like this anytime something changes? As a child, I had a blanket that my mom gave me that used to belong to my parents. I used it until it had holes in it because I grew such an attachment to the fact that it used to belong to my mom and dad. My daughter is the complete opposite because she does not hold a devotion to much of anything, so we butt heads when it comes to my desire to keep everything my grandma owned. I have given so much away over the years, donated things, and had yard sales that I feel like I don’t have much left, and what I do have means something.
Enough about me. If you're struggling with change, know that you're not alone. I have come up with a few tricks to help me. Go to YouTube and watch a few episodes of Hoarders. Then make yourself a cup of coffee and let go of the things that annoy you to clean! Always remember that natural disasters and fires take many people's homes every day, so something as simple as a little knickknack could bring someone else tons of joy! It helps me when I think that someone else is going to enjoy what I’m going to give away. I have a cedar chest filled with all my memories at no one allowed to touch. Always have one thing that’s off-limits to the OCD person in your life. It will help you to feel safe and keep down arguments.
