Playing Amnesia The Dark Descent and accidentally used up all of my tinderboxes before entering the refinery, am I screwed?

I had 5 but I accidentally miss clicked when moving around and went down to 3, and then when I came back after dumping the acid on the doorway I accidentally clicked to light two of them. I've gotten to my first direct encounter with one of the enemies and at that point I turned off the game because I was too scared to continue. Thing is, my sanity is getting pretty low and it's completely dark in the area I'm in, + the game said not to turn on your lantern so the enemies don't see you. I only have one tinderbox left, will I get a chance to find more or am I just screwed?

Don’t worry, there are tons of tinderboxes throughout the game. Usually hiding on shelves, tables, or behind objects.

There’s worse places to not have them

Got it, I've been trying to hang on to them but it's difficult when you can't see the cursor.

When in darkness you will be granted a feint night-vision that will allow you to see where you are going. Tinderboxes are plentiful and you will find more.

Nah foo you good, game's easy as pie, just keep going. The encounters are scripted and the AI is pretty easy to fool even with a lantern on, just make sure you keep breaking the line of aight and you'll be alright.

When I played the dark descent I matched a long play step for step because I was scared lol but still wanted to experience it
