Crypto is not good for my mental health bros.

>When I hold btc and alts are having bullrun, I get depressed.
>When I hold alts and btc is pumping hard, while my alts portfolio bleeds -40%, I get depressed.

Been in this space since summer 2017. Crypto has done nothing for me except giving me the depression and anxiety.

Let me guess: You don't have a dad and have an overly neurotic mom who has pushed all her ideas onto you?

You need to be bullied, pushed down the stairs, have your books slapped out of your hand in front of the girls....its literally the only way you are going to learn.

That's the problem with me. I get obsessed with one project quickly and go all in. Every. Goddamn. Time. If I weren't such a sperg, I would've had 6 figures in my folio right now, instead of a mere $3000.

Hold my hand, fren. This is becoming more and more unbearable every day.

Quite the opposite actually. I've got a loving and wealthy parents. It's just this depression I got 2 years ago, which ruined pretty much my future. And I somehow think that /making it/ through crypto is the only way I can get my future back.

I'm not bragging, I'm a straight A student and well-versed in a lot of topics. But I agree with you that I need to be pushed down the stairs and slapped by books. I really need someone to slap me. I need to learn from my mistakes.

How do you cope with the losses anon? Any activity you did to distract your thoughts?
Yes it passes over time, just like the other mental breakdowns I had before. But this time is much more schrecklich.

I know and I understand, fren. It's just that I'm such a big moron. Maybe after this I will truly learn from my mistakes and will finally diversify. Thank you for caring and giving me your advice. Really appreciate it.

Speaking compassionately anon. I'm always unsure how much of this is genetic vs environmental / mental.

Do you exercise regularly?
Do you accept that the world you see around you is "it" and really just an endless opportunity / experience? Or do you feel that the day-to-day trivial toils are a hell to themselves? Do you accept that maybe "being happy" is the lie, that no one was ever meant to feel that feeling because its impossible?

Start reading your Bible.

I think in my case, it's environmental. I never had mental problems/illness before the first depression that I got 2 years ago. Since then, I keep having these mental breakdown episodes if triggered by specific things/situations.

I don't get to exercise because I'm too busy studying and working. I've always believed, and had faith in myself, that one day I am gonna make it in crypto. Maybe this false conviction is what driving me mad. I've had restless nights, lack of sleep because of these thoughts that I have to make it in crypto. Or I'm gonna end up as a mediocre person. I have this burning desire to prove to myself and the people in my life.

I cope by knowing I had a 3:1 in my hands and I let it slip, but my plans have been right multiple times in the past two months despite absolutely retarded actions I’ve taken
It’s only $5k down to $2.5k, I’m playing with chump change but always growing evermore concerned I’m going to miss the run
That said, I’m carefully watching a couple of sub-$100M cap coins that I think are going apeshit next year and patiently waiting until I can make some fucking money and ape in
>reminder: diversification is a privilege you only earn after $10k

How much are you up on your initial investment?

Back in 2017 I was up x15. Lost it all in 2018 due to depression. December 2019 I started from zero again. Now I'm down -40% from my initial investment.

Holy fuck.
Honestly just get into stocks and boomer ETFs, gains are almost guaranteed, you just have to hold long enough quality memes and unlike crypto there are no +-30% swings for no reasons at all.
Also the market closes in the evening and you can go to sleep peacefully/take care of yourself and hobbies

Also ironically my stock portfolio outperformed my crypto this year

[Anonymous No.24893391]

>>24893047
man you’re retarded. if you put that 5k into ETH and BTC (maybe link) a month or two ago you’d be up 60% instead of down 50%

>stocks
Ironically I'm managing two separate stocks portfolios of my mom and my dad. I diversify their money. Their boomerfolios are doubled in less than a year.

But when it comes to my own hard-earned money, I'm such an idiot. It hurts, bros.

I'll feed you my most optimistic one for your sincerity, but you already know it most likely:
>look up the ekiden research paper
>look at the authors and what they all have in common, as well as what projects they're involved in
>look at which platform it belongs to
>look at their twitter feed
>look at who just announced an experimental partnership in the past 2 days
>look at which major exchange founder is an initial investor
>look at the project lead's reputation in their field
I think it's ridiculously quiet despite a lot of oldfags leaving massive breadcrumbs

>i have anxiety and can't sleep well
Please exercise.
Do you realize the human body is physically not designed to sit around for years at a time? bio-chemically you are a mess.
Cardio is probably the easiest way to get started...a 2 mile run per day....however best results come from strength training + core-body workout ...

At very least publicly commit here and now to go jog for 40 mins per day for next 7 days and report back here your results.
