For those of us that bought at ATH only, what are your thoughts during this dip?

I learned a lesson financially in that I just have to be patient. I'm -30% or so right now and it feels pretty bad sometimes at night when I think about it and can't sleep like right now.

I honestly have no more spare cash to buy this dip without looking reckless in front of family.

I can't panic sell but that means I have to tolerate a negative return for the foreseeable future.

If I would have DCA for the last 52 weeks of the year I would have been much better prepared for this dip.

All the answers I got on reddit were to buy whenever you can and not try to time the market. But in doing so I have no clear exit strategy now.

I could sell as soon as we get back to the last ATH and just be done with trying to make a better future for myself. But if that takes years, then its years of agonizing wait that culminate in nothing but my money back.

Don't know what to do to make myself feel better. Anyone else in a similar situation with some advice?
