Okay. So it wasn't exactly 10.000 emails. Only 9932. I totally forgot that I had set my account to "save all as long as there is room"(I download on a daily basis).I almost died when I saw the number of emails in my inbox going past 1000 after setting my computer back up the other day. Of course I was able to delete in bulk, but sometime in the middle I realized that I had deleted all the email addresses, too. I was tempted to look trough all those emails to save them but then I decided to be be smart and to just DELETE them all and if I happened to come across one I needed I would copy it. So. I ended up with 9932 emails my "trash" folder.
The good news is that I got rid of 2 folders of "importet files" storing the files I wanted to keep in the proper spots and by deleting an armload of old files nobody needs any more.
Tomorrow I will be back home and I finally get to start my end of the year CLEAR OUT!
Realizing I was a hoarder was both a shock and a relief. A shock, because nobody wants to have a mental disorder. A relief, because my situation finally had a name. I found people who could relate. Knowing the problem helps solving it. I can step aside and look at the situation from a more neutral point of view. Why am I blogging about it? 2 reasons. 1. Putting my thoughts into words helps me think more clearly. 2. If this helps just one, who is like me, see the light it was more than worth it!
