I felt mentally exhausted and physically sick- don't look at the charts

All Cryptocurrencies

As I already posted previously, during the bull everything looked bright and my dreams were coming closer to being true, namely changing my job - I have what would be considered a good job, considering my country's standards, not American Standards - and buying a fully detached house with garden for my and my family - yes, I do have a rottweiler, I would love her to breed, but I don't have space enough-

Some people cautioned us in this sub: the music would stop and nothing would be different. Thanks to these people I convinced myself to take some profits, I bought a 2nd-hand Mercedes-Benz (It was a steal, it was a friend who sold it to me and I was really in need of a car to make very long travels with family and dog, and I paid for my cybersecurity masters. Thank God, I did that.

I was planning to make moves and I had already started to look for houses, I just needed crypto to keep going up a little more (damn greed).

Then we got it. It was in May 2020, I thought it was a fucking super correction, but it kept on, I did not sell, and the rest is history. November came and I did not take profits. I kept DCAing but from January to this day now, crypto kept taking brutally. (Ok there have been more brutal declines, I save you the comment).

Even if I kept DCAing, I started to feel mentally affected by February, even if I thought of it as an opportunity - the low prices - then It kept tanking and tanking - by may to feel physically ill and could not stop checking charts.

I could not focus and felt like throwing up all the time, could not sleep. but I repeat, I won't sell and I did not sell.

Then July came, and I was determined to change my miserable life, what did I do?

- I uninstalled all crypto apps from the smartphone I usually use (including coinmarketcap ). (I have 2 phones).

- The other phone that kept my crypto app: I started to park my car in a private and safe parking lot far from home with the 2nd phone left there.

- I left all my passwords in a secret location, safe. But in a location, I could not access it easily, physically speaking from my apartment. (so I could not log in)

Then my willpower did not have to fight the implacable desire of checking the charts and even if I was feeling ill physically still, It was a new feeling and I could start sleeping better.

After a month like that, (August), I started to focus better on things and my family life improved a lot and my study time was much more profitable and effective.

- I started to train (15- 30 minutes a day).

- I took super intercalated showers with cold/hot water which helped to calm my anxiety.

I decided to spend time either: working, with family, or studying (I take the time for Reddit when I'm waiting for something generally).

I'm starting to come to terms that for the moment we need to keep grinding and working to follow our goals, we will have to wait for the economic situation to improve.

The only concept that kept intact through all this time is that I would never sell.

For many of you, this won't be helpful but for others It may be, keep faith fellas, I'm sure a bright future is ahead of us.

Edit: Fortunately, I have no social media. (No fb, instagram, tik tok...).

P.S: I never invested more than I could afford to lose, I still have a well-paid job in my country, and my portfolio is 75% down from ATH.
