Feel so lost right now, just want to know that I’m not alone…
Lost $70k within 3 years of trading/options
Mainly on Nivida, Tesla, S&P500, Google, MSTR & some times rocket lab.
This dumbass option trading actually started with GME, then that roaring kitty guy was popular.
I saw the movement that happened in the past and wanted to join when he came back, he did & GME went up a little and fell back down fast.
When he showed how much he made from shares and contacts, I got convinced to give it a shot.
I did, and got hooked, said fuck off to GME and started trading everything else.
Fucked up thing is my family doesn’t even know, they all think I’m doing good, but I’m not.
I’m lost and depressed mentally and financially
