I think that feeling like the fog has rolled out is an accurate description of being in a situation where can't dress. That has been my experience during Covid, I am retired and my wife and I are together all the time. I did not purge and I'm glad that I didn't. The family shared lake home opened up again and we can go up there to take a break from being cooped up. This week it's her turn, guess what came back with a vengeance and rushed over me the minute she told me? Yes, I am going to dress tonight for the first time in ages. Next week is my turn at the lake, guess what I'm doing again next week?
To put it another way, imagine that you just purged and later in the day your wife says she is going out of town. How would you feel if that happened and the drawer and closet were empty? I would feel frustrated followed shortly by feeling broke from all the shopping. I don't think purging is the answer but if you do purge take care and we will see you on here in a few months.
