Recently, I've completely lost my mind, and I just feel off.
After losing money, I don't want to talk to anyone. I've had my phone number for nearly 16 years, and a couple of years ago, I could still chat with friends when they called. Now? It's either advertising promotions or debt collectors - I simply choose to disappear.
My schedule has completely fallen apart. I spend all day staring at the market, barely able to sleep for a bit despite being so tired that my eyelids are heavy, but even when I do fall asleep, my mind is filled with candlestick charts and positions. I often dream about liquidation and wake up frightened, my heart racing, unable to breathe from anxiety.
I feel like I don't recognize myself anymore. Two months ago, when I just entered the market with 30U, I was happy to make 10 bucks a day; when my principal rose to 500, I thought a target of 30 was enough; when it reached 1000, I felt satisfied with 50. And now? All I'm thinking about every day is doubling it. I feel uncomfortable if I don't go all-in, and it's even more torturous when I do.
Seeing those trading bloggers share their results, doubling their profits in a day and making dozens of times in a month, it's hard not to feel envious. But I have to admit, I just can't handle heavy positions—although I've had moments of shining glory with 10x and 30x in a day, when I do the math, I still end up losing more with heavy positions.
I really can't hold on anymore. Even if I occasionally manage to do it, I can't maintain the profits at all. Now, every time I see the market, I feel annoyed and don't want to do anything. I need to stop, reorganize my plan, and regain that initial mindset.
I won't touch the contracts tonight. First, I'll overturn the strategy and start over. Tomorrow, I'll turn off the copy trading function and start again with a small capital. It will get better, right?

This is contract hell, once your mentality explodes, it's over.
Heavy Position is really poison, it feels good but your account is gone first.
Put down your phone, brother, sometimes not watching the market can actually make you money.
Greed is the biggest enemy in trading, you need to take a break in this state.
You really can't play against those bloggers, don't follow the trend anymore.
A broken mentality is worse than losing money, adjust yourself well, and don't rush to recover.
You must stay calm this time, come back with a small position and give yourself a chance.

This is the warning signal before the mindset gets liquidated, brother.
---
Losing to the point of isolation, right? I understand that feeling, really.
---
Heavy Position is poison; once you taste the thrill of several times, you can never go back.
---
Stopping is the right thing to do, don’t force it, rebirth starts from this moment.
---
The bottom range tests human nature the most; if you endure, there's opportunity, if not, it's Get Liquidated, there's no middle option.
---
Those bloggers who double their money every day, you see their winning moments but not the ten times they lost.
---
Be a little more sober, starting over with a small capital is more hopeful than dreaming in Full Position.
---
Not many people can get through this cycle, but those who persist will survive in the end.
---
Putting down your phone tonight is the best trading decision, trust me.
---
The law of conservation of energy: the anxiety caused by losses can eventually be turned into peace.
---
What I fear the most is not the fall, but that you are still dreaming in Full Position.

I totally understand your state, a Heavy Position is poison, greed can be fatal.
To put it bluntly, it's still a mindset issue; the greed at 30U and 1000U is completely different.
This period of calm is correct; survive first, then make money.
Reflecting during losses is worth more than anything else, and starting over may not be a bad thing.

Ah, this is the price of having a Heavy Position, losing my mindset feels worse than losing money.
Greed is truly poison; when 30U turns into 1000U, it's hard to stop. You really need to work on your mental conditioning.
Waking up scared from dreams of getting liquidated, brother, you must be very anxious; you need to take it easy.
It's normal to feel envious seeing the blogger show their profits, but remember they won't show their losing trades.
Having a Heavy Position might feel great for a moment, but recouping investment is a graveyard; if this path doesn't work, don't force it.
Not having a Heavy Position feels uncomfortable, but having one feels even worse, which means you need to find your own rhythm; others doubling their money doesn't mean you will too.
Revising your strategy and starting over is actually the right thing to do; clearing your mind is more important than clearing your Position.
Turning off copy trading tomorrow is wise; others' trades might not suit your mindset.
There's no shame in starting over with a small capital; stabilize your fundamentals before thinking about anything else.
Things will get better, but the premise is that you really need to stop and reflect.

This guy is truly obsessed, I can see it
He has been kidnapped by greed, to put it that way.

This is the curse of Heavy Position; once you experience the thrill of doubling, you can't turn back.
Greed is the biggest killer in trading, and I have experienced it too.
The key is to recognize your own risk tolerance; not everyone can play with violent leverage.
Restarting your mindset might be the smartest choice.
