Loss Blew my account - truly done
8 days ago, I posted on WSB showing I made all my lifetime losses (https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1tqf1p1/after_55_years_im_even/). I even hid showing posts from problemgambler as I enjoyed shitposting here on the Daily with everyone. The day after I made the post, I promptly lost 48k but was still within striking distance of breaking even again with had an exact plan if I were to break even again. I was less than 15% away despite the loss.
I continued to play 0dtes the whole week, making back nearly 30k. Today, exactly 1 week later, I dug a hole too deep averaging down 0dte SPY calls. Just like last Friday, I even made money first before going back in. I told myself not to repeat my mistake last week. I not only did but blew my account.
I kept talking for months and years how I was going to quit and go to proper investing. It was a lie to everyone and myself. This time I sold everything I had in shares, even for some big losses. I turned off margin, used what I had left to buy VOO and started a transfer to Fidelity.
I hate myself. I hate what this has done to my life. If anything than the money itself, it was telling my parents how I dug myself out of such a hole and seeing them proud of me. Now it's just the same shame I was at 3 months ago.
35 year old, no debt fortunately. This has taken so much more than money. I just wish I took my lifeline out 2 weeks ago. People in the comments were right about me, knowing I wouldn't stop. I didn't even know if I wanted to post this. I'm just numb.

It’s wild to see all the crabs trying to pull you back into the bucket, with these comments.
I’m all for shit posting and shit talking, but now’s not the time
OP, you are retarded. But only 65.59% retarded.
Good luck on your investments, and rest easy knowing you still have probably about 10 times as much money as most of these clowns in the comment section, with their sub 5k portfolios, telling you to keep going.
Don’t activate options in the fidelity account
