View submission: I Stopped Buying Duplicates
The 'what if I run out?' problem is HUGE. I finally - after years - convinced myself that, if I run out, I can - and get this - get another! OOOOOH!
The sun will rise tomorrow if I don't have something. Makes me get out of the house for awhile, go for a walk, y'know? Such a weird concept for me for a long time, but I've been good now for years.
These days, I don't care, but man, unwrapping the 'but what if I run out?!' panic from my brain took some serious scrubbing.

That 'what if I run out?' panic used to have such a hold on me too. But once I embraced the idea that I could just get something later if I actually need it, it felt like a weight lifted.
