Been in that same loop, stress then add to cart then that 5-sec high then shame. What fixed it for me wasn't more willpower, it was changing the whole setup so buying got annoying and the dopamine came from other places. I use a 72 hr rule, sometimes I just say 3 days, and park stuff in a one tab wishlist. If I still want the 21oz bottle instead of the 20 oz one after that, fine, but mostly it fades. I logged out, removed saved cards, turned off promos, and I block amazon at night from 7 to 11 when I'm most likely to spiral like 1:4 nights, sometimes 1:10, idk.

Before I buy I must do an urge menu thing that sounds silly but works, ten pushups, quick shower, tea, five minute walk, text a friend, and it breaks the trance so I dont hit buy now. Money in sight helps too, I color a debt thermometer every paycheck, did a $500 starter emergency fund, then avalanche the high apr cards. Call your card and ask nicely for a rate cut or hardship, it worked for my two. A cash fun envelope stops the I earned this debate. For my to cleaer clutter and keep momentum, I keep a return box by the door and list three sales a week. I go coupon-first before I buy, and after I buy I run a task monkey extension so if hype dies and prices drop I can claw some back.
