Feels surreal but my first and surely not my last. I stuck to my plan , eliminated noise from external sources and locked in.

I know I messed up, so I’m not looking for sympathy. I took a small account up to around $3k, got greedy, didn’t close, and now I’m basically back at zero while dealing with eviction and family stress.

I’m not posting this to glorify trading or to make excuses. I’m posting because I keep repeating the same pattern: run it up, hesitate, lose it, then hate myself for it. I have a kid, a baby on the way, and I’m trying to stop the spiral before I make things worse.

If you’ve been in a similar situation, what actually helped you stop chasing losses and start getting stable again? I can take the criticism — just keep it real.
