Thanks for telling your story. Perhaps it will motivate other would-be traders to give up and get a life. But you and I are stuck here. As I tell people who ask me why I do it: "What else was there for me to do at the end of a mediocre career?" It is appalling that it took (at least us) so long to "get it." But having gotten it, and acquired the calm of system trading, I see subtle shit now that absolutely astonishes the old newbie me watching from inside. Best of luck to you on your trading regime change.
