Afraid to check bank account due to fear of not having enough money

I took out a personal loan due to fear of not having enough money, despite having a decent amount in my account

What I wish I knew
"Budgeting requires a regular check-in with finances, not just a one-time fix"
If I could tell you one thing
"Regularly checking bank account can help alleviate financial anxiety and make better spending decisions"
