I lost a lot of money trading, worst part is:
I made it all back twice, and twice lost everything.
While I was winning I thought to myself, great finally there is something I'm good at, something that could uplift me from the deep hole I got stuck in for so many years, and then I got wiped, I might try again in few mounts, but it got me thinking, why even try?
Not even about trading or making money, no matter what I've tried over the years nothing ever sticks with me or works for me.
There was nothing in my life that I was ever good at, finally I thought to myself, this is it, it worked so good for me, maybe I'm not such a failure, maybe it is my calling, and what do you know? I fucked up like I did everything I've ever touched.

I'm lost, I feel empty inside, but there is no pain, some fainting panic, but that's it, I feel dark and empty inside.

I think the only thing that might make me feel better is something that I must get good at fast, something where I could easily measure and see progress, but I don't know what it could be.

P.S. I'll vent here for a while, yell into abyss, hope it works.

They say don't invest money you're not willing to loose. You gambled and lost, simple as. Doesn't have anything to do with being good or bad at it, even 'professional' traders don't do better than just randomly investing in shit and they never beat the markets either. Beware of the trap of 'getting good at something fast', there is no such thing. You have to accept that you're gonna suck at stuff for a while before you get better and more importantly, accept the version of yourself who isn't good at anything yet. That's the only way to break this cycle.

i know the feeling and am in a somewhat similar situation. i want to have a certain life that i cannot afford so i am constantly reading / studying learning to trade. irl stuff that i actively try to avoid by distancing myself from people always interupts me from these tasks and then i feel like i need to relax so i end up procrastinating. its a vicious cycle and its difficult not to blame the people around me for their negative influence. its so exhausting and on top of that looking at my situation realistically becoming rich and having what i want seems unrealistic. it begs the question should i even exert the time and energy into these things when it seems like a waste of time but the alternative is to just ldar which is equally miserable in its own way. any advice about how to deal with this conundrum would be greatly appreciated.

How about realizing that you won't get rich by gambling and that wealth is either stolen or inherited? I understand the urge to live in some fantasy because of your current shitty life but it won't change anything.

True to that, It's just that I was so close to breaking free, I think I might get back up, it's more of a psychology problem than anything else with me.
I promised that I will forgive myself once, I made my money back and then some, but I fell again, I believe that I'll make it again, just hope this "last time" will be truly the last.

I think you have to break it into stages once you reach a certain stage, reduce your risk tolerance for a some time and appreciate what you've done, then slowly gain momentum and increase your risk tolerance and compounding speed.
I've been through some sheeeeit that would make reddit-fags blush in shame, wild ups and downs.
It will get better, just try to take it slow after each stage and don't rush, I wanted to reach mouthy goal so badly I lost everything.
Long story short, don't bash yourself too hard, That is what makes it worse.

I was successful in trading but spent all my money on psychiatric quacks, then normal doctors, became sicker than I ever been and ended up a homeless dying drug addict with nothing.

lel, psychology says the more soul you pit into trading the worse the outcome is.


should have set up a nice trading account already…

youre right and i need to stop and think realistically. i would hate wasting what time i do have running a rat race with no chance of actual success.

oddly enough, this is how i usually cope day to day. it definitely does help dealing with stress and makes me strong enough to deal with issues that inevitably arise throughout life.
