It’s a Miserable Life – Trading and Depression

I never worry about missing opertunity. The tilted is what scare me. I had few a long the way. It's very bad. I'm tilted post traumatic... Every day without being tilted is a good day. It's like psychotic attack, I can never be sure l will not suffer from another one. Every thing goes.. just without tilted please.. last one 2 years ago..
Great thread!
Thanks.

I disagree with that. It's not desire that leads to suffering. It's obsession that leads to suffering. Simply desiring something does not make you suffer even when you can't get it. It's obsessing it unreasonably and uncontrollably sacrificing everything that's important in your life, your health, your family, your love, your dignity, your morality, your integrity, your value, your conscience just to get something that makes you suffer.

THAT's good.
I was thinking about the most stress+ suffering i chose to go thru was a FSBO[for sale by owner] ;
cutting off a 1 acre parcel off 5 acres i lived on. USUALLY use a Realtor, but simply went thru a local lawyer i knew.
The big snag + stress was the lawyer wanted me to buy title insurance thru him/ did not need it or want it; i did that when i bought the 5 acres. Star wars on the real estate.
Most FSBO is overpriced +I bought+ sold enough property[20+\ ] to prove a Realtor was well worth it.
WHAT'S a non Realtor know about RE compared to Realtor, almost always, not much:caution::caution:

Bill - I have heard of this many times....floor vs. screen.

BTW: great thread and great story.

The best (yet still imperfect) analogy I can use is that of Texas Hold 'em. When you traded on the trading floor, you were virtually guaranteed a pair of jacks dealt as hole cards at least once per day. It was still up to you to manage the hand well - a profit was not guaranteed. But the edge of being on the floor versus being on the screen was there. I really would like to expand on this in a future post. This writing process has been very cathartic for me and I hope you are finding it at least entertaining if not informative.

Back to the subject at hand, trading is clearly not for everyone. ...................

So I sold off my losing positions bought more of my winners and became an investor, with play money to trade, at least until I learn more about this activity.

I'll take this as a friendly rhetorical question. Thanks for asking. Sold my CTAS today at 434, 6 more than planned, thanks to the trailing stop. So today was a good day. Of course the downward market trend is not good for investors but having loaded on TSLA, I'm just looking towards a bright future.
 
Mental illness and trading do not mix. Using drugs will only exabrarate your mental illness. Do not use! Seek therapy, medication and stop trading!
