Props to you for being honest with yourself about it. I bet there's a lot of folks in this community who can relate to some of what you're going through. We may all love joes for different reasons, but at the same time they're just toys right? Not in the slightest bit worth sacrificing our relationships, or our mental or financial health over.
You've got a great collection and I have no doubt that you'll bring joy to a lot of other collectors out there by passing it along. I hope there's some comfort to be had in that |

This hobby can slide into obsession real easy. And look at this way, you caught most of the Pokemon. Now it's over and you can let go.
Good self-awareness bro. The rest of your life is way more crucial. Good luck my dude. |

Well, it's a long story. I have had problems in the past with addiction, and what started as a fun hobby has become a full blown addiction. I've lied to others about it, I've racked up credit cards and tanked my credit score because of it. It's become a severe point of contention with my wife and family. My work has suffered because of it. It's just not fun anymore. I almost lost everything in the past when I collected Transformers around 12-13 years ago, and before I go that far, I need to stop.
I've realized that when I buy something, it gives me that slight rush of dopamine...and then my bipolar disorder takes over. It used to be this way with drugs in the 90s and early 2000s. So I'm just masking the problem instead of getting to the root of it. Now I see the collection with negative connotations. So...for the sake of my mental and financial health, I need to sell it. |
