I've been there, but never pressed the 'unload' button. I have gone through periods over the years where I didn't have a system set up. At some point, I'd get back into it, and man, realize how glad I was that I hung onto the records. I could see getting rid of the crap, though, which is what I'm constantly doing- thinning out my records, so I keep the better pressings. Of course, I'm still buying vinyl, but most of it used/older stuff.
I'm reluctant to offer advice, but will say that you can live without if it is a necessity to get out. (Which is how I'm reading the OP). Good luck. (I did the same thing with cars- couldn't get enough of them, now don't even drive much, and don't miss it, except for the occasional tug when I'm on a twisty road and wish I was behind the wheel of something old, fun and nimble).
