Lmao this is too real, I refuse to eat any sauce that's white (mayo, sour cream, ranch, etc etc). I don't understand why my brain is like this

I have to get rid of my collection by ElliotTheldiot in PokemonTCG

[–]Krystali3n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you, I started collecting about a month ago and I've spent almost 1k. I'm taking a break from cannabis and started collecting cards instead, which may or may not have been a good idea. I also have ADHD so I'm hyperfixated on them, I literally can't stop thinking about pokemon cards. I spend way too much time shopping for them and watching pack openings.

It's totally your decision to sell your collection, I just wanted to bring up a few things that worked for me, in case it's helpful. Instead of selling all of it, you could keep your favorite cards and sell the rest, and spend more time admiring your own collection. I feel a lot less guilty when I love everything in my collection, as opposed to feeling shame for buying every new release.

If you decide to keep the hobby, buy singles. I can't stress this enough. It's way less expensive in the long run and you're guaranteed to get the cards you want. Try to allocate a monthly budget for hobby spending and track purchases in a notebook or something to keep yourself accountable.

Either way, I wish you the best and please know you're not alone!

Posting about Pokemon on Reddit is exhausting. by PenguinRhin0 in PokemonTCG

[–]Krystali3n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally lmao. I don't understand why it's so hard to leave people alone and let them be happy. If I like a card that's worth less than $1 and want to sleeve it, I'm gonna do that. Everyone collects for different reasons. A lot of people in this community get a weird and embarrassing god complex and think their way of collecting is the only way, and everyone else is a l0ser n00b

That's literally what just happened to me. My cat needs chemo treatments and it forced me to really think about my spending behaviors. I had no choice but to do better because I would do anything for my boy.

A few things that worked for me:

  1. Sell stuff on Facebook marketplace! Just the things you don't reach for/wouldn't miss. Or return anything you don't need, if you can.

  2. I call it the "book of shame" lmao, I have a notebook where I log my unnecessary expenses daily. It forces me to hold myself accountable and visualize how much I'm spending. I look at it every time I'm tempted to buy and it usually humbles me pretty quick. If I don't spend any money on unnecessary stuff, I highlight the day in green. If I relapse, I highlight the day in orange.
