Reframe A Big Purchase Regret

You bought the thing, it didn't fix what you hoped it would, and now every time you see it you feel a bit sick. This treats the regret as data about your spending patterns rather than a character flaw, and gives you one practical adjustment to make from here. Suits anyone stuck replaying a purchase decision.

Help me think through a big purchase I now regret, without dwelling on guilt. Given what I paid, what I was hoping it would fix or provide, and how I actually feel now, give me a short reframe that treats this as information about my spending patterns rather than a moral failure, then suggest one practical adjustment I could make going forward. Keep the tone matter of fact, not soothing. My situation: {PURCHASE_REGRET_DETAILS}
