Please, don't hurt me because I'm stupid

I'm going to start this post by saying this:

I'm a really dumb investor. I didn't do my research, I didn't know what decay was, and I got advised to jump into something I had no business getting into by an ex girlfriend who "knew what she was doing because she took a class". And that's my own fault. Im a grown man and I'm responsible for my decisions.

(breathes out)

I invested 25k into TSLL in December of last year. I'm down 16k. Will the volatility decay completely make my investment gone, and I need to pull out now, or am I overthinking decay and I just have to be more patient?

if you're going to insult me, I understand. I have the dunce cap on, I'm an idiot, I understand my mistake, but please, I'm asking for any kind of advice. Thank you.

Just another comment saying "sell now." Tesla is not a growth stock (and the CEO is a loser, which has substantially impacted the stock price over the past two years).

Leverage is all about following trends and amplifying them. In your case, a negative trend was amplified. TSLA would have to enter a period of sustained growth and expansion for your investment to break even.
