[quote=Anonymous]I was raised by Depression raised and WWII scarred parents and it is very hard for me to get rid of "good stuff". There is always the sense that you might need it someday as a backup, repurpose or sell so you don't go without when life takes a bad turn. My great grandfather died of starvation during WWI and my father would lose his mind if he saw us throw away food. My mother went hungry often during the Depression and WWII years so she would alway buy enough food to keep two refrigerators and our pantry full. The pandemic triggered this learned anxiety in me and I feel unsafe when I see partially-empty refrigerator and pantry shelves. I also am having a lot of trouble donating and discarding items post-pandemic. [/quote]
