If you are like me, you are having a bit of an anxiety attack watching the price of some cryptocurrencies plummet. Your finger is hovering over the sell button, doubting every quasi-decision to sell.... and then waiting... and then regretting... or breathing in a sigh of relief. We all know crypto and stocks are a bit of a gamble.
What is important is that you breathe. A loss isn't really a loss until you SELL. When you sell, you have forever limited the value of that item. When you hold, you have the future for it to go back up. Just make the best choice for you, try to take your emotions out of it.
If you are having a hard time with all this, or at an extreme, are considering harming yourself (or others) over these things. Remember, you are not alone. Please reach out and talk to someone. Much like a sale of a stock, currency, or asset, certain actions are final.
Want to text anonymously with a crisis intervention counselor rather than chat? That's fine: Text "Hello" to 741741 (If you are a military veteran, text VET instead).
If you want to pick up the phone and speak with someone? Call the National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-273-8255
You are not alone. You are important. This too shall pass.
