I want to recycle everything.
I need to clean the 2nd room soon, as a roomie is moving in the first week of June. Things have to go but the problem is that most of those things are broken stuff or just for recycling. I keep every single wrap because I don't like being wasteful. I try to find an use for everything... and I have way more things than I can take care of.
I feel guilty! I know that I am fighting an endless fight since I can't stop any of the mess going on the world. I want to find a use for everything but I am not a recycling plant. And I just can't find a way to let go of all the stuff I can't give a new use to. I know it's kind of a control thing, you know, not feeling in control and hoarding stuff to get the feeling. But at least the next room has to be cleaned soon before I box everything up and forget about it for ages.
Has anyone felt this way? How do you cope with the feeling of being wasteful?
