>inb4 get help the mental health system right here is non-existent, literally>want a new figure >buy 3 of them why?>the first thing that I do is search for QC issues, any flaw, anything, if the figure has one, I must trade parts from the other 3, until the figure is "flawless" what happens when there's an issue that cannot be fixed>try so hard to fix it to the point of ruining it >once ruined I sell it and buy 3 again hoping that now it will come without the issue >need to check every single figure of my collection every day trying to find a flaw >if I find one I try to fix it, I'm very bad at fixing things, doesn't matter I'll try knowing that I'll fuck it up and I do, then my entire week is ruined, and I need more money, as a NEET I'm permanently broke due to this shit, I can't stop buying and every day I literally beg to not find a flaw in any of my figures also every day losing 3 hours checking the figures and another 5 hours if I find a flaw, most of the time I hurt myself with the tools, I can barely paint so I'm full of paint cans and toxic shit that I inhale I'm at the edge, the thought of ending my life is becoming my last hope to escape this hell what the fuck can I do at this point

Seriously, there's nothing anyone on this board can do to help you other than maybe convincing to stop buying altogether or collect cheaper stuff. But your OCD would still be untreated and you would just develop in a different way or with different hobbies
Where do you live that there's seriously not even a basic ass health office that gives you some pills to somewhat control your issue?

You sound aware enough to know this is all stupid and i would randomly guess this is a manifestation of your inability to deal with an entirely unrelated thought/emotion the fact ur a neet with nothing else to occupy your mind and hands says it all

>>9962643 What figures? And my guy just look in the mirror and tell yourself how ridiculous it is. Reach out to a friend or family if you need help. You should also like, come up with a reasonable budget you can work around. That should stop your shitty money habits or start to end them. Post a stick it note on your computer saying "You dumbass, you buy more then 1 figure you're gonna make yourself miserable dumbass" It'll be you telling yourself to not be a dumbass when you're about to be a dumbass. Throw the paint and fixing stuff in the garage and place your credit card in a spot that's gonna force you to go to the other side of the house so you have time to think before using it. Look up shopping addiction stuff on Youtube and money advice on Youtube (use your head obiviously and don't get roped into influencer or MLM culture) And just like, sell the ones you buy at a inflated price? Hell even if you broke the figure you can sell individual parts at a markup too my guy or use them in customs. Many people buy parts for other figures/for repairs to their own figures.

Hey anon. I have pretty serious OCD and have been on meds for about a decade. Your behaviour doesnt sound healthy and it sounds like you know it. I sympathize a lot, having OCD definitely affects my collection habits (needing to complete sets of something, making sure my figures look perfect etc). But it doesnt sound like its going to get better through 4chan. It sounds like you really need to pursue some non collecting hobbies. Do you live somewhere that could maintain a garden? Try to relearn and remember why you like toys in the first place. Get a fun figure for cheaper and appreciate it for what it is. Not everything is a museum piece, enjoy it for the moment in time it sits in. Good luck anon sincerely. Ocd is a nightmare and without meds and support i dont know what Id be doing. I hope you can find help

I used to be the same way, striving for perfect QC. Then I bought a few Monster Arts and just had to accept the existence of loose joints, since there's no way around it with those big tails.

>>9962643 Stop buying online. Go to a physical store to check the conditions of the toys you wanna buy. If the toys you want are aren't for sale in your country, you can always ask online sellers for more rl photos of the products.
Also get a job, nigger

>>9962666 says and prove any of this. Show off any recent receipt or transaction where you bought 3 of the same figure (one that isn't an army builder). Preferably a photo of the 3 figures too. Prove to us this isn't just a LARP

>>9962643 I had a similar situation to you, OP. I was buying things just for the same of buying them, then most of them would sit in the closet collecting dust. You need to take a step and start selling some things. It'll be difficult at first, but easy after the very first time. You also need to pick only a few things to collect and stick strictly to that.
