Hello everyone, today i want to tell you about my crypto-depression.
So in 2010 i was working in IT company and my friend from work told me about bitcoin mining.
Next day after this information i register on this forum and start mining coins, everything going perfect but bitcoin price was really low and unstable.
I was investing everything in gpu. Couple times i lost my fund's on scam-exchange but i still had a lot of "mining power".
In 2015 i quited my job and invest my whole savings in bitcoin, in that time i had more than 15 bitcoin's and gpu worth 20k$.
And after 2 or 3 week's everything fucked up, in same time i lost my job and my wife get sicked.
In Nov 2015 i selled everything but still i had -$$$$ to pay, so you probably asking why i made this post?
Now after 6 years i have biggest depression ever, if i only burrow money from somewhere 5 years ago and didnt sell my miners...
I have feelings that i lost my biggest life chance to get really rich and i just want to forget about crypto and work in normal work but it is impossible.
It's hurt much more if you can see that your old crypto-friend's get cars and houses from crypto profit, i wonder if someone have some feeling's as me.
I know a guy who had it all. He made millions in the 90s when a lot of companies were acquiring other companies. He had the home and kids college fully funded. About 2005 he gets into day trading with a coach and all.
He lost it all including the kids college funds and the family. He had to go back to work and died a few years late of cancer.
The point is you need a plan for getting rich and to know when you got there. The same thing happens with the high up drug dealers, they have millions but don't have a plan for getting out, so they eventually get caught or killed.
Now men are very successful in commuting suicide when depressed. Women are better at handling it because they have a wide social network and talk about their feeling.
Ask for help. Let your wife know how you are feeling. Talk with your doctor.
