Is it normal to be sad when getting rid of a bed or old belongings?

Ok so I got a new bed recently. And I feel really lame but I'm almost sad that my old bed is gone. I haven't got to sleep on my new one yet but I will in a little bit. Anyways like I didn't want to get rid of my old bed because iv had it for as long as I can remember. And idk. I'm just wierd. Another thing that kinda goes with this is that I don't wanna get rid of or throw away things that I had in the past. Like I was cleaning my room and found old diarys of when I was like 5-10 or something and I would write down everything. I can hardly read it now but I don't want to get rid of it because its like apart of me. Anything of the past kind of upsets me. Such as home videos or things I use to have/do as a kid. Is this normal? How can I fix this. I guess I'm just afraid to let go of my child hood and grow up.. I'm 19 btw.. :(

    I get attached to things very easily so dont feel alone. Anything I get rid of ald socks, toys, clothes, even just old magazines I feel upset and attached to it. My mom says I'm a hoarder, but I just have a unique connection with my belongings lol. I think its normal I know we rent the only ones like this. btw im 16 :)

    I am totally like you. I actually never throw anything away - it all goes right to storage. Unless something is seriously damaged or filthy, I dont throw it away. I hate it when my family throws away stuff and I never get it when people sort through their things and throw away old birthday cards or memorabilia and give away their childhood toys. I cant even get myself to delete old emails from old friends. So yeah I think it is normal. Everyone's different and you just dont like throwing away stuff.

    You will love your new bed soon! Just think about the old one as having served its purpose and as rosewood says, it's probably not hygenic to keep the same matress (not bedm as in headboard/frame) for a long time.

    Very normal about the diaries, this feeling goes away in time and soon you will start throwing everything out. Soon, meaning in another 5 to 10 years.

    Did you know that when from when you first purchase a mattress to the day you throw it out 5 or more years later, it ways twice as much from the day you first slept on because it's full of dead skin cells, bed bugs, hair, human poo and god knows what else! I wouldn't miss my own mattress little own yours, ewww

    I just went to bed and couldn't even lay down. I instantly just got sick to my stomach. I can't tell if it's nerves or something I ate. Probably a mixture of both. Ugh :(

      hey dude, dont worry about it, its probably because you're just anxious. im sitting here in my new bed and new room. i cant help but sob. i want my bed and room back, i feel sick to my stomach too but i know its just anxiety and my nerves messing with me. i'm sure we'll all get used to it. its just a matter of adapting to a new environment.
