Going through a similar experience.

I started trading crypto in my junior year of high school and got fairly good at it. At my peak I had close to $100,000 which I think was pretty decent considering how little I started out with. But crypto was all I focused on at that point so school, work, and other aspects of my life really suffered. Fast forward to now and I just finished high school but only have $3,000 to my name and am lacking any direction in my life right now. I'm not even starting college yet because I feel so lost. I have made some really really bad decisions/investments.

>realize I wasted all of my time
This hurts the most. Other kids got jobs and bought cars, vacations, etc.; but I have absolutely nothing to show for all that time I put in. And the market is just so shit right now I don't even want to try trading again. Gonna use my last 3 grand to bet on sport matches because I am not smart.
