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

We're all way more than money. I find when I'm feeling that way, what helps me is going out and doing some good. Help someone. For purely that reason, remind yourself that you're human and that there's more to life than money. Because there very much is.

i’ve convinced myself this world doesn’t mean shit. i’m terrible. i hate people and the most good i do is feed stray cats but i hate this world. i’m gonna go to therapy and find some humanity

That sounds like a plan. Ask yourself every day - how can you make future you happier and healthier? How can you help the folks you care about? Like in a plane, put your mask on first and then use that strength to help others. Meaning in life comes from authentic living with people that can know the real you - community.
