As crappy as this all feels right now..
I've been through a good few bearish periods over the years in this game.. and yes, when you're in them, they fucking suck
But I also understand that they eventually subside.. and what comes after are brighter days
I also, also get that emotions can run high and make you feel unbelievably shitty and stupid because these markets are relentless
They make you question every decision you made and do their best to grind you down
They will make you feel like an absolute idiot for ever having belief or conviction in a project in the first place
Not that it makes it better.. but just know that there are so many people in the same boat as you right now
They're hurting.. they're stressing.. they're bleeding.. they're questioning everything too
Most people just won't say it publicly
They want to look like they are the dogs bollocks and do nothing wrong
Truth is.. fucking up at times is part of the game
Its not fun to go through and no, this isn't inspirational or anything.. its ugly but its reality
But this is where you will be tested..
This is where you will find out if you have the marbles or not to eventually be successful
Sell to make the pain stop.. or test whether that conviction in your research is real
Look, no one knows where the markets are going next.. everyone pretends they do and we all draw our little lines on charts but in reality.. no one has a fucking clue
Your investment is likely a little fish caught up in a larger volatile current
So if you're feeling it right now..
Just take a breath.. zoom out and prioritise looking after yourself
No investment is worth destroying your mind over and understand that these periods do end
They always feel permanent when you're in them.. but trust me, they do end
You're not alone in feeling shitty right now
And you're not stupid for finding it hard
