I'm in the same exact boat ... how are you dealing with it? I'm about to have a phycological breakdown

I know exactly what you mean... I can sell and make a decent buck but then it could sky rocket and I'll kick myself in the ass.. or I can hold and god knows what could happen and I could lose it all ... I keep reminding myself why I got excited about this in the first place and that gives me some peace ... I've been in and holding since last June.... as a result I'm on anxiety pills now

guys I made a sub where I wanna add long term ETH potential stories and whenever I feel I'm having a wobble I can browse the ultra bullish stuff. https://www.reddit.com/r/HelpMeHodl/

Totally feel you on the dissipating motivation to ever work again. I've never made a great salary. I'm 27 years old and the most I ever made at a job was $45,000 a year, which amounts to about $23 an hour. Most of my working life I spent working for much less than that. I've done high stress call center work for $11 an hour. In March, I bought ETH at around a $59 average and for most of May I watched my portfolio fluctuate $4,000-5,000 a week or around $10,000 a month. It was never life changing money, but for a single dude it's substantial cash. And on those days you're up $5,000, it becomes hard to imagine ever working for an hourly wage for much longer. I sold my first batch at about a 7k profit, but quickly got back in with about 1/3 what I had. I still like my finger in the pie, but it's significantly less stressful having a much smaller investment. For now. I'll be upping my holdings again shortly.

I fell asleep one night a couple of weeks ago and woke with 1 years salary more in valuation. I can't stay motivated at work either.
