Hi everyone I’m 32M, and like the title says, I have lost 500k+ on 0DTEs over the last 1-2 years.

I’m not in debt, I still have 6 months of mortgage roughly in cash and long term holdings but I really really hate myself cos I could be so much further along in life.

Just wondering if anyone has been here before and what helped you to quit? I’m thinking I’ll simply not invest any further and have nothing to do with the stock market for the rest of 2026 and maybe start afresh in 2027 with just some automated investments. Not sure if this is a silly idea. Thanks and all the best everyone!
