Does Getting Rid of Clothes That “Contribute to My Depression” Make Any Sense?

Question by Tree: Does getting rid of clothes that “contribute to my depression” make any sense?
When I’m staying at home doing nothing but being depressed, I usually put on these comfortable yet not too flattering clothes that I somehow believe only help me sink deeper into depression. I think they “encourage” me to feel lazy, drained, to feel bad about the way I look and stay out of sight. Getting rid of them would actually mean getting rid of probably half of my clothes, and I sometimes just like to wear them at home. I know this might come off as ridiculous, but do you think I should give them away and do this thing for myself?

Best answer:

Answer by Storm
If you believe that about the clothes then yes, but you don’t want to get rid of every comfortable thing. We all need comfort clothing, there has to be some way to find something comfortable that will not make you feel bad about yourself.
