My therapist told me to throw away everything I've ever purchased from fast fashion

I’m 30m and I’m in therapy for depression. Yesterday during a session with my therapist, I was telling her about the stress I’m feeling with the amount of laundry I have to do. I have 3 kids, and I work a service job with the public, so I do laundry a couple times a week. I’m a bit of a wing-it kind of guy, and have gotten lazy with my laundry routine, so it becomes a huge chore. It’s partly because I have 3 kids (all under 7, so lots of changes) and partly because I’m the type of guy who only does laundry when I have to. I’m not a morning routine guy, I’m more the type who only does chores when I have to. Combine this with being really busy with work and kids, and this chore has built up. <br><br>I told my therapist all this, and she said the following, “Why don’t you just throw it all away?” <br><br>“Like what?” I asked.<br><br>Her response floored me. “Everything that you’ve purchased from fast fashion.” <br><br>I’m a bit embarrassed to say that my entire wardrobe comes from fast fashion. I go to TJ Maxx, Target, and other places where I can get cheap clothes. I buy whatever is on sale. I’m not the type of guy who cares what I’m wearing, so long as it’s comfortable. I don’t pay much attention to what the clothes look like, and I’m not “in style.” <br><br>So yesterday, I started cleaning out my closet. I’m in the process of taking everything I’ve ever purchased from fast fashion to a second hand store. I’m going to throw some stuff away that is too worn out. I’m going to start buying clothes that are quality, and that fit well. <br><br>I still feel like I’m crazy for doing this. I’ve been reading a lot of articles about the effects of fast fashion on the environment, and I’m not going to lie, it’s really opened my eyes to see the bigger picture of money I’m spending on cheap clothes, and how I’m paying for more than I need to because I’m spending so much time doing laundry. <br><br>So, it’s 6:30am on a Sunday, and I’m off to the second hand store. Wish me luck.
