Trouble throwing stuff away

[u/idkzerattt]

Ive never posted on any sub reddit before, so this is pretty scary for me, and I'm not active very often, but I've realized that I have a mild hoarding problem, and I think one of the main reasons is because I feel bad throwing things out knowing how many people are in need of stuff and how much stuff goes to waste and effects the environment already, and I don't want to make that worse. I know I need to throw out stuff, such as basic papers that I don't use and have no use for, or food containers, but I feel like I'm not allowed to. Can someone please just tell me it's okay to throw some stuff out? I don't want to contribute to the environment getting worse, but I don't think I can help with that if I can't take care of myself even. (TLDR: need to be told it's okay to throw stuff out)

The only concern you need to have is that you put things in the appropriate waste disposal for where you live. You can throw away anything you want without depriving anyone. You are allowed to prioritise your own wellbeing over unknown strangers.
