Hi Plop! Nice to "meet" you! :wink:
I've been giving your question good deal of thought, and.... frankly... I think it depends GREATLY on exactly WHAT we are letting go of! If you've got bags of smelly refuse stacked up that you are saving somewhere...no offense darlin', but....see a professional...the sooner the better! :wink: If it's an old raggedy stuffed animal from your childhood, KEEP IT! Why let go if you really need to question it, and so what who thinks your wierd for holding on to it! They aren't the ones that are attached to it! Now, if it's a person we are letting go of..... if you are anything like me, I get attached in one way or another to everyone I meet and like... if that person doesn't reciprocate, or it's just a very unhealthy realtionship... it's wise & for the BEST to let go of it, but that doesn't make it EASY.. not by a long shot , because the attachment is still there, and may be there for a long, LONG time to come! Also, just like the stuffed animal, we can find security & comfort in attachments, sometimes even in unhealthy ones, and letting go of that security and comfort can be devestating, TERRIFING!
Oh well, anyway, I'm certainly no professional......
but those are MY opinions. :?
