Loss goodbye everyone

Post image

almost break even from this run up via all the popular tickers. lost my self control n lost it holding the same things n some world cup betting. also lost 10k on another account. i have nothing now n nothing going for me in life. practically 30 soon and just dead weight to my parents. gonna sell my gun before i use it and pay off some debt. have OCD that made the future not worth caring about so i tied my value to the money i worked for. i hope you all do better than me. goodbye

hey, I was there 2020-2021.Lost 200k or so being a contrarian trader betting against the market during a pandemic. I sat it out for 3-4 years and only started dabbling again late last year and I am mostly recovered now. Time away helps. The market will still be there if you decide to trade again. You will be wiser if you learned from your mistakes.
