I think the issue people are taking with it is that you're selling your stuff off not merely because you don't need it; you're selling your stuff off because you need the money to get by. There's a difference.
And while I wish you the best in your healing, I sincerely hope you realize that this kind of healing isn't something that happens on its own. It's something you need to work towards; it's something you need to plan for and take action on. It's not like a flesh wound where you'll heal if you just eat and sleep as normal. You need to fix things actively. If you just "let it be," your mind will easily fall into patterns that work counterproductive to where you might want to be.
I'll say it again: you have to take action. When you come back from overseas, try to come back with a plan, with goals....not just hopes, wishes, or dreams. Maybe your time away will give your mind the freedom to decide what you truly value and what you truly want. If this does happen, go for it. If it doesn't, try something different.
