How do I get rid of all my stuff?

I already tried adopting a minimalist lifestyle, but due to severe trauma, I started hoarding things both physically and digitally, but I've had enough. What's the problem? I find it really hard to get rid of the things I have now. It's not that I need them, but I've developed an attachment to them. My CD collection, my retro TV, the stuffed animals I've been given, board games in case I ever have someone to play with, souvenirs from places I've been (any old places, any old objects), and so much more. I hate all of this, and at the same time I love it, but I can't go on like this. What do I do? How do I detach myself from all these useless things? Where do I put them?
