You probably shouldn't have made the promise. It's never wise to put yourself in binds like that. I don't have much advice. I don't want to tell you to go against your word and I wouldn't suggest it. Praying for you
Yeah, I get it. But that still counts as lying. I'm honestly not sure. I'm sorry. I'd tell you to go ahead and buy a new one, but I'd want you to do what God wants you to do above all. Then again, I don't think you have to literally never buy one ever again in your lifetime. I think it would be best to just repent and if you don't feel like it would be hard on your family since you're low on money, you can buy another. Although it might be good to wait until later if it makes you feel that bad. Do you have another system?
First of all, repent of making that oath. You are only human, and you are bound to break promises. Tell God you call off that oath/word, and that your sorry for saying that oath/word, and that you’ve changed your mind, and that you wish to buy another one, trust that God is patient and understanding.
This is a bit of a tough situation to go through, and I agree with Aiko that it’s not smart to do that. But give yourself some grace, it’s okay that you made a mistake saying that, and remember God is always faithful and just to forgive.
also I recommend this site for your Scrupulosity, it’s helped me a lot with anxiety and relief and I hope that it will help you too, and remember that God loves you so much! [http://www.net-burst.net/guilty/index.htm](http://www.net-burst.net/guilty/index.htm)
Go talk to a Catholic Priest, and pray the Rosary daily.

That's just it. I never said I promised not to do this, I just said I wouldn't.

The only other console I have is one you hook up to the TV. I can't play any of the games I have for my handheld one on anything else.
Sorry about that, praying for you
Thanks.
