anyone else actually going insane here?

I'm making like 6k month average from crypto, even accounting for the dip recenty.

I quit my job a couple months back and I've been going full NEET mode, just go to the gym and play video games all day, then research more crypto shit

I have a few friends online and that's about it.

I have a stock market portfolio too that's up 20% for the last 5 months but it doesn't fucking matter, I am genuinely uninterested in having anything but millions of dollars.

I've become so numb, 30% swings up and down daily don't even phase me anymore, which is definitely a bad habit to get into as an investor

I've genuinely become too lazy to get out of all of my alts if a crash really were to happen. I don't have any stop losses placed either

I'm considering not even finishing school. I just check blockfolio every 10 seconds like a crack addict.

I've become even more reclusive as well and despise normies more and more everyday, makes me want to stop even going to the gym, might just buy a home gym

I just feel so disconnected. I barely know what day it is anymore, and I feel like by the time I wake up It's already dark and I'm going to bed soon

I'm getting pretty fucked up but I'm sure some of you guys have been through this too since some of you held through the last 3-5 years.

How the fuck do I deal with this? How do I help myself? This isn't right

I'm planning on quitting my job soon and feel like this is exactly what will happen to me. But I hate my job and don't have any friends there anyway, and already hate normies. My plan is using the extra free time to do other stuff that improves my life, not just focus on crypto all day. Also get some hobby that will get me some sort of interaction with people most days. Force yourself to go outside every day. Get some sort of routine that involves stuff outside of crypto.

I know the feel, I became a zombie, nothing mattered to me but crypto, just sleep for 4 hours order food trade until 4am and repeat. It was bad and i knew it too. Currently in Europe on a trip I booked months ago, completely stopped checking crypto even though it's crashing really bad. I feel like I'm alive again, the stress and dread faded. I had dreams of the market crashing and me not selling in time, but I'm all in ETH and NEO so even if I'm 20% down right now I will be okay. I know if I was checking binance constantly I'd probably be making more money than simplify waiting for it recover, but it's just not worth it.

But on the other side I've lived as a NEET for quite a while and shit becomes depressing and trite exactly as wageslaving can be. And sometimes having a rhythm in life is not bad. You enjoy weekends as weekends and holidays are orgasmic. Stagnation is bad, change is the salt of the mind.

Holy shit guys I found this rare chainlink image I think it might be true. I think LINK has partnered with Disney and they're going to fork it as DisneyLINK. It'll be the token to get on all the rides and you can also buy the turkey legs with them too. Rumor has it that rory's dad settled a (legacy Ethereum) smart contract with Jason O'Forkparser and they've agreed to buy back all legacy and ShadowFork LINK at below ICO. They're going to start a new token to build supercomputers on every city at SIBOS 2018. All because Sergey is Satoshi...

I think we'll make it man. I've been watching BTC for years and I kept listening to idiots around me tell me it was a scam since it was less than a dollar. My biggest regret to this day is listening to other people, but also being too lazy to put forth more research into it when I was interested.

Anyway I'm getting away from my point, people really still do think its a scam or have no idea how it works, despite the normie threads you see here. There's not a single person in my old normie circles who have bought any of this shit, and I have yet to meet another person in real life who actually buys this shit as investment. You have to remember what generation we're in now. This millennial generation is economically fucking braindead, that's why they protested wall street instead of the government back in 2011. No millennial is investing anything towards the future, the competition is very small, and even today, as dumb as it may sound, we are still early investors on bleeding edge technology.

According to what you say, you're suffering your own economical success. You need a routine, a bigger goal, you need new experiences. 24/7 in crypto isn't healthy at all, and having money doesn't mean that you're a god, but a normal guy with money. Seriously, do something different, travel to a new place, forget about the phone or the internet... Relax.

No problem, mate. Well, in order to "make it" you'll need at least a million (tax-free), sounds like a reasonable goal for now. Keep trading, but try to spend less time in front of the computer. Complete your education. With less than 1k you could plan a nice travel that will give you some relax. After that, focus on some hobby, and develop it. You'll end meeting people with your own interests, maybe even a girlfriend.

This is just an advice, feel free to take it or avoid it ;)
