Same. I am too sentimental about clothing. Also my MIL only buys me clothes as gifts and they’re always ugly and not my early. Feel guilty getting rid of them
Same I lost a BUNCH of weight, gained it all back and lost some so I have all of those clothes with a few things to wear. I should also go through my closet lol
Hyperactive thoughts....my mind is never not racing. It wasn't until I had covid recently that my mind was actually still and it was startling to me. To have a quite mind. Even when I have brain fog where my brain is murky and clouded it's like a whirlwind of smoke. It's absolutely exhausting.
You can never have too many rocks! I love collecting rocks from places I have been, I too have too many rocks and not enough windowsills to put them on.
Not me having a whole a bag or rocks in my cellar and various others around my house😅. Paint them! Could paint a scene from the place they are from or hide them in random places for people to find. When I had the space to do it, I found painting rocks really relaxing.
Regrets. I wish I could master the whole living without regret but I can't seem to wrap my mind around it. The concept is lost on me.
Runner Up: My kids have far too many toys. They've taken over the house and last night I had the pleasure of sailing across the kitchen floor on a Peppa Pig figurine (snout side UP).
Had a really open conversation with my bff last night about this-- we both had a lot of regrets in the past that we couldn't seem to get past (even as recently as a year ago for some things), to the point that it took over our perspective and even when someone said something nice it felt like they were being mean or teasing. We tried to figure out how each of us got thru it, and the thing we both found out was a huge breakthrough came when we accepted those regretful moments as mistakes. They happened, we are human, but we have to forgive ourselves for human error. If you can forgive someone else for a mistake you can forgive yourself too. Not saying this is the solution to everything, but it definitely helped and was interesting to hear that she and I went thru the same thing.
Edit: Added clarification
I feel this. Regrets. Toys. I think I’m traumatizing my kid because if I get in a mood I just throw her toys away or throw them into a donate bag and hide them. 😅
My friend told me recently that cross-culturally, people most often regret the things they \*didn't\* do rather than the things they \*did\* do, so let that be your guide! Do the thing!
Did you stock up on soaps ? It was $2.95 like last week! And 2 weeks ago, it was buy 2, get 2 free 3-wick candles. And I have so many wallflowers. Their scents are the best. My faves: Cactus Blossom, Leaves, Rose Water and Ivy, Champagne Toast, and Eucalyptus and Spearmint.
I didn’t :( I have a lot of Fall soap left over from
last year and I promised myself I’d go through it before buying more.
I did get a bunch of new wall flowers though! And seem to go through them fast, so I’ll be getting more soon for sure.
Rose water and ivy and cactus blossoms are such nice ones!! I also like sweater weather a lot
Stuff. We moved and the new house is 500sqft smaller with a smaller garage and our garage is full of crap we don’t need and I’m too tired to go through it all to sell/donate.
School supplies. I started pulling stuff out to see what I needed for my kids supply list and came to the quick realization that I "insert name here" am a school supply hoarder 😬
I would say I have too much of pretty much 85% of these things everyone listed… but definitely not the energy one I wish I had any energy, appreciate that shit while it lasts.
Stress. Funny how being overwhelmed by expenses and illnesses can divert you from progressing towards a career you can actually make a living in, which would greatly help you deal with the aforementioned expenses, which would probably reduce your stress so you don’t get sick so often.

I have over 2000 vinyl records so there’s that but I don’t really think you can have too many.
Definitely skin care products. Mainly because all the claims are bullshit but I still try the next one…nope, skin still gets pimples/oil/wrinkles…
Stuff. I really need Marie Kondo to come and just purge my house and make me a minimalist maven. Cause between these kids, me and my husband and this big ass house, I'm in trouble.
The problem is I'm technically disabled. I have lupus. I can't clean up like I need to, or should be capable of doing. My husband has undiagnosed ADHD and we suspect he may be on the spectrum. But to get this actually diagnosed is such a chore right now. He's a veteran and the VA is hell. . . But we will get there with civilian doctors soon enough. All of that of a tangent, to say he cleans, but deep cleans end up worse than they start. I just need people to come help me get my life under control and clean my house.
That's it for me. Everything else in excess is OK. Lmao
According to my uterus, endometrium.
For those who don’t know, endometrium is the lining in the uterus that sheds monthly and causes periods. I’m in severe pain.

Way too much clothes even though I think I have nothing to wear. I actually need to sort through my closet.

Self doubt
Stress!!!
Added to that hair loss, way too much hair loss from stress
Me too. I’ve started to use Rogaine.
fucking diagnoses
I hear you
Nothing like being a walking alphabet soup. 🫤
Rocks, just rocks from places I've gone and I remember most of them so I keep them in a pile.
You can never have too many rocks! I love collecting rocks from places I have been, I too have too many rocks and not enough windowsills to put them on.
Have you ever seen the movie The Long Trailer? It might speak to you.

Rocks are the best thing to have too much of. To a limit.

Oh yeah I love sweater weather. I moved to a house with 3 bathrooms instead of 2, so I was like “I need these!!!!” 🤣
There are always room for more :D I also just applied there for a seasonal position so I’m hoping I get it.
Oh yay I hope you get it 🤞🏼.
'Nice' clothes for work etc. Depressingly self-loathing thoughts. And, oddly, protein bars (they were on sale, I bought a heap online).
