so, how it's going? i hope you're all fine and in a perfect mental condition to help me. just share your secret, how you handle your stress caused by abrupt drops? how can you stay alive when one of the morning brings you news that your chosen alt has lost a lot in price? is there any chance of keeping your head cool? i may be too emotional or touchy, but really, isn't it outrageous that after all your time-consuming researches and observations and readings all you get is zero on your wallet? i would simply love you to tell me how you reduce the consequences of it. i can't be the only one who is so anxious about crypto. sometimes i hold my breath before updating information considering crypto. deep inside i think it might assist me in some way, somehow affect my chosen coins, haha. is that normal? have you ever felt that way, too? what are your thoughts? don't leave me alone in the darkness, please!

I just go back to where I started.
To nothing. Just a little investment and efforts to help the crypto world be known more. e.g. Twitter, Facebook and other social media applications.

The prices have really dropped for like 100 percent or maybe more to other crypto currencies but there is this thought of mime.
One day people willl see it at its best side.
The speed, the security or privacy and easy access using smartphones which every person have by now.
With that, it will gain its momentum again.

I always tell myself crypto currencies are still at its young age.

You are right it is very disappointing to say the least, personally im also suffering due to this very long downtrend and have not cashed out a single penny since months but im still holding because i think market can swing in our direction anytime now, if you can read charts btc is forming a triangle and if it breaks above then i think it will grow quickly, im still hopeful that market will become good in last quarter of this year.

well i know it is hard and i think that you need to try to control your emotions and have a rest for a while if you really need it

if the  ryptocurrency world is ahazard to your health maybe you should try soemthing else your health is really importamt

Cryptocurrency is not for faint-hearted people. Sometimes you have to make a huge effort to stay sane. Everyone who invests through it goes through. I want to tell you not to lose hope. The market may soon recover and your coin will return to a good price. You just have to wait.

Drops are better then managed when you don't keep going back to your computer or phone all the time. The truth is that, you can't do anything about it because you have no contribution to make because you have already bought.

We just have to remember always that volatility in crypto is normal because without it no opportunity for earnings to everybody. Just go with the wave and to avoid that stress you should have invested only those you can afford to lose.

i am on dead condition already.
since eth drop from 550 actually.
LMAO
well
i also like that , frustating , and maybe can be said to be a bit psychopath
but , some voice on my brain say
its not your fault.
when u see the market, most of them also got decrease value from real money,
so what i can do now ?
nothing,
and i got one way to take out my money back,
and that is a short term trading.
i try to dont take it soo serious.
just play relax on my phone , then continue do anything i can do.
like fishing or find some slut,maybe.
xD

I know how frustrating all of the recent happenings must have been for a good number of us, but the best thing now is not to worry or panic about all of this, it doesn't help a bit, neither does it change a thing. Take a break from the market if you need to, or get yourself involved in something else to keep your mind busy for the time being.

My mental health is independent of my portfolio's value.

Money isn't everything, you can't let it ruin your life like that. I think you need to gain some perspective.


Mental health is more related to health. If I gain 20 pounds and also lose muscle that will cause me a lot more stress than losing 50% on my crypto portfolio. If my best friend dies in a crash that's going to cause me a lot more stress.

You should understand about risk, from this one you can stay calm and keep follow your strategy with out ask. In this situation many people can't take realistic decision because enter the market with out calculation and break their own rules. Stress and angry make their decision is very bad and mostly create bigger loss. See again the chart, calculate again and do what the best to protect your asset. Just like that and good luck to you.

Well, that's called paranoia and at some point, I might have also experienced that. Always worried, always scared of losing my hard earned money but hey, our world does not revolve in just the four corners of the crypto world. There is still a world out there that requires our attention too. Divert your attention to other things and breathe. Do you have a family? Take them out for a vacation. That's what I did when I was becoming too emotional with my crytos. I took a pause and returned when I knew I was already emotionally stable.

frustration is the first feeling I felt when I saw a bad price and suffered a lot of losses, I didn't even open my computer for some time, but this might be a very stupid thing, but I think this will happen to everyone who experiences the same thing , and that's normal, to overcome that disappointment, I have to try to open my computer and learn it, why the price can drop dramatically, from there I try not to repeat the mistake of choosing the wrong token / coin

everyone is also experiencing panic, to relieve stress usually I dance in and out of breath slowly, do some repetition, after that we have to think positively, and strengthen ourselves so that we are not too depressed by the price reduction we have now we can do by being patient, all we need is just time, so be patient.

Best advice I could give to those suffering from anxiety and are scared about the sudden drops is to stop looking at the charts for a few days. You'll notice how you feel less stresful when you're not looking at the price so often.

If that still doesn't work and you're still feeling under a lot of stress because of the prices, then that means you're not ready for the massive swings in the prices that get frequently, meaning that the cryptocurrency market isn't for you.

not only you are in a situation that is not good at this time, many are out there. even I have experienced this. going for fresh air, hanging out with nature might reduce stress.
and return to managing cryptocurrency, enthusiasm and never get carried away by emotion.

I very much understand you. I also lost huge sums several times when I bought altcoins and they were totally equal to 0. And even now the market is not showing its best side. It is really difficult to realize that I have lost a lot of my money and time. But lately, I just don’t pay attention and continue to work on crypto further. Just waiting for a miracle when some of my altcoin will significantly increase in value.

if you want to overcome your emotions and stress when the dumps come you have to start before you even invest. this means you have to first expect the dumps otherwise you will be surprised when they come. it is like never expecting the sun to go down and then panicking when it becomes dark!

when you expect the dumps you automatically will start planning ahead, which means having a solid sell plan to exit the pumped coin so that you don't lose money when they dump it.

What if do some vacation and take some rest with you family, have some quality time with them. The crypto market is a place where the competition is the main game, so expect that some are winning and some are not. That is the fact on this market, so if you want to have a good time while winning, you need to stay calm and remember that this is a game of emotion.

It's been a difficult journey honestly. As someone who doesn't really know how markets work I used to regret joining and investing. There have been times when I almost quit but trust me you, there's no thrill once you are out of it. It kind of grows on you. You just take it as a learning experience and move on. Just remember that future is rock solid and you are contributing a major role in building it. I hope we all do well in future and shine.

My income isn't dependent on crypto alone, I still work offline. so I'm not too stressed and think about it too dizzy. This decline has made me anxious but I don't think about it too much, I'm still optimistic that there will be a change at the end of this year.

Do not get attached to the price, that's all, it helps even more if you play a game on your phone. zero on my wallet?, well, I cannot say that, because I started last year to invest in crypto right before all the boom started, so maybe I know only a little, because since last year I probably lost like 15000$, that is just because I didn't sell bitcoin when it was high and buy it back when it was low... So should I kill myself? Money is just an imaginary value, your life is more precious. Just keep on going, keep on trying, reading and doing stuff, I heard from some people that they get a lot with only airdrops...

My plan at the beggining was working on a regular job and I invested in bitcoin like max 150$ per month, or a little less some time later, but constantly every month something something. I also learn about crypto and stuff, and now after one year I don't even need a regular job anymore... I could and I can survive only from internet.

lucky me i have put my emotion aside, whenever i see any news or researching any trade to make, it doesnt affect me much on my final decision.

first you should invest only what you can afford to lose so i think you invest more than you can afford and now you are getting stress which is not good. crypto may give us profit but you should not forget that crypto is very risky. i think you should try to be positive and hope market will recover. or you could stay away from crypto for a while and spend time with your family and comeback later.

I used to be very worried about this and even didn’t sleep even at night when I saw my deposit fall. Later, I simply realized that all these experiences lead nowhere and it became more coldly related to situations in the market. I am no longer happy about profits and not losing my loss - just a cold calculation.

  Just relax pal , if i were you stop monitoring your portfolio and stay away on it for a while , refresh your mindset because stress can caused bad on your health.  And indeed everything will be fine soon so don't worry because it takes time , much better to stay away and take a vacation,  then  comeback if the market become fine again, don't pressure your self pal because you have no another choices.

You know, if you really wanted to invest, you have to consider first if you can handle your loses in the worst case scenario, that is how you can stay sane. Because if you invest more you can handle if you lose, then you could have a problem.

sometimes it takes a lot to stay sane and to have interests in other sphwres not only in cryptocurrency wolrd

you need to watch ypurself closely and to distinguish when to work and when to have a rest in order to gain power for the future

that's why it's important to not invest what you can't afford to lose but you can't really do anything about what's already done then just watch market. Try to distract yourself with something else instead of completely focusing on crypto, it'll only bring more head burning headache.

this post is really funny and important at the same time. if you wanna stay sane please focus on the other things around you and stop checking your portfolio each day and time. Especially during the bear market

Probably it is better to start with a tobol that, in your opinion, it can hurt to remain a sane. I think what exactly the analysis from the very beginning of this situation as a whole can solve further a question to you. You do not need to think so deeply about it, I think that it will be important here not to be nervous and not rush

   Well, basically you are still mentally fit, so stay sane as you put it....We have Emotional Level of stress that a person can only handle  other wise some are manifesting physical reaction after you've been thru a lot of Stress. In these Crypto Currency Market one should really exercise the maximum level of tolerance/ Control before making such a decision. Patient is the Key...take a deep breath bro...

I will say that experience is seriously needed in this cryptocurrency market, because experience will help you to choose a good coin/token .If a good coin drop in price you will not panic so much because you know that the price will appreciate gain.

What a very nice motivation to people who just started learning the crypto. Almost all of us lose big amounts but the winner will always be those who have conquered their emotions. Losing money can be emotional but killing ourselves with these emotions will not help us.

What did you expect when you started doing this activity?  The market situation is negative, but I think this is due to the massive sales of the main cryptocurrencies, so I think the situation will soon get better.  And in order to worry less about what is happening, I try to just get distracted by my hobby.  It helps ...

To handle stress because of price falling, I think you just need to spend time to go out with your friend, your family and don't check price on Coinmarketcap everyday :). Don't care if price fall or rise cause it only make you feel worse. That's all :). I think there is no secret in this case, you just need to control your mood.

for the time being with the condition in my country that has not legalized cryptocurrency as the prevailing currency I invest with little not totality with the very large risk that will be obtained

My advice is very simple, take more time to breathe and distract from crypto.

so you do not quite feel the loss because of the little investment, well that's good. Actually,  for me it doesn't affect too much if the market are going down or up, the only thing that I know it will back in the better price, just sit back relax.

the market falls suddenly? maybe a few years ago I was stressed about this. but now, seeing that seems fine. before I got to know crypto, I was more in the world of forex investment. This kind of situation often happens, on Saturday I see my order profit, but on Monday morning I get an email (margin Call). and according to me crypto is a little better, we just need to wait until the price returns. and in my opinion crypto is a little better, we just need to wait until the price recovers. whereas in forex waiting is not an option.

It is only difficult for those who have chosen it to be a difficult one for them. How difficult a journey is depends on how prepared you are for it. The market may have been abruptly dropping in price for the past few months, but that does not mean this is the end of the market as we will still get to see a recovery in the long run anyway.

What is important now is to at least, focus on the long term, see this moment as a good time to be able to get into some market at a very low price or just hold until the market recovers. The market is always out to scare the weak hands, and being a weak hand is only possible by the decisions you make yourself.

Investing in cryptocurrencies is a complex system, the immersion in which requires a lot of commitment and, accordingly, self-control, since there is a great psychological burden. Very important will be the ability to refrain from decisive action and wait until it is best to make a move. You should not watch the price rise / fall graphs all the time. From the user absolutely does not depend on how the currency rate will behave. You can not force him to rise or fall, because of what many can lose a significant part of the time that can be spent on developing the right strategy of behavior. In such cases, watching their own funds, people undergo emotional outbursts, which should be avoided not only in investments, but also in life.

If you decide to make money on cryptocurrency, then you should understand that very often the market brings us bad news, which is why stress is possible. However, after a market downturn, it is recovering. So do not worry.

Yes, there is such. As in any market.

Hello darkness my old friend...No but seriously, if you are experiencing so much stress and negative feelings when it comes to price volatility, you should probably decrease the amount of your holdings and leave in only the amount you can easily afford to loose (its a cliche saying, but still), as this would result in a more phlegmatic outlook on the whole thing.

i am with you in that darkness believe me dude. because of bitmex i'm gonna crazy in one month this is absolute. everything about trading is bad for brain you all should know that. first you win and grow self confidence then you lose and hate yourself. this cycle is very hurtful for all kind of people. i need to find nice and easy system and follow. don't think about my trades.

I hope that you don't feel that you are alone in the crypto world because we are still on here and together, we can survive, and we will see the rise of crypto. I think we are needs to have a strong patient now because what we were predicting is not works and it needs more time to see the increase in the price.

My tips for you, you need to do something else that is not related to the market and don't watch the market very often because this will makes you feel sad. I know this is hard to do, but this is what we need to do right now if we want to survive in the crypto world. It is normal to feel like that, but you need to rise, and we don't leave you alone, but you need to survive still.

Soon, what you see now will change, and you can see that the profit will come to you again and I think the profit is on the way to you and all of us. So, let's we hold tight together and don't feel sad again because we are in the same boat now and for the better future.

usually I go on vacation or stop my trading activities for some time. stop thinking about it for a moment, can make stress relieve. the point is to leave everything busy and go on vacation.

I usually invest the small amount of money. Even if I cannot earn more coins, i try not to regret it.
I think the luck is being gathered if I couldn't catch it. Mind control like this is sooo important.

I continue to work and just wait for everything to normalize and everything will come to normal...why be like that? this market and it always has been, up today, down tomorrow - this is normal..if you are so worried forced your hold then maybe you should go with crypto?

Dude, come on, stop crying. Firstly, you knew where you were going and you probably understood that buying a cryptocurrency in a falling market is like trying to catch a falling knife. So that your balance does not melt before your eyes, put a stop loss and all problems will be solved at once.

For me just hope for the worst, by now people should expect that they should just invest what they can only afford to lose. One thing I am telling my friends is that we are very close to the bottom and you don't want to miss the next ride, there will be some ups and downs along the road but the long term trend is up

You can try to present it as someone else's money, which you treat as your own. This belief can help if self-suggestibility is all right.
For me personally, this is not a big problem for several reasons.
1) I never keep all savings in a cryptocurrency.
2) I do not contact with doubtful projects.
3) Money is not a dream or ultimate goal.
4) My personal dreams are valued more than the money invested, therefore, against this background, the loss of the value of the coins is not critical  :)

For all, this principle may vary. If money is your main priority, then you should think about changing your business.

I do not.

I go crazy about the prices and how my money is melting every single day. I have some money put aside just in case of emergency stuff and whenever I need my money in the past 10 months I keep getting less than I initially put but I do not trust banks so I keep my money on the altcoins and bitcoin yet that always gave me negative results.

Whenever there was emergency that caused me to cash out my bitcoins into fiat so I can pay for stuff I have always netted a loss from what I invested. It creates a burden on my soul and I keep getting closer to getting out of crypto all together except accepting payment of crypto.

understand that anything can happen, according to our wishes or not and we must be satisfied to accept it. wherever you invest, everything is risky, sometimes everything that happens is not in accordance with our wishes or plans, therefore we must accept it with satisfaction, whatever happens.

When I saw my assets in crypto investment decreased a lot due to a sudden decline, of course I was surprised and disappointed. But I realize this is the world of investment, this is crypto, everything has risks and I have realized before I invest in cryptocurrency. So I don't think there is any point in you panicking let alone stress, because it won't change anything.

Stress occurs because you are thinking too much about events that might hurt you, as well as crypto currencies. when you join crypto currency you must know the worst risk of crypto currency trading, so you will not feel disappointed when you experience a loss,
stop constantly looking at market prices, to avoid your loyalty, and keep you sane  ;)

The best way I believe to always stay sane and keep your head cool is to remember that some times in the past years, a lot of people considered the likes of bitcoin has overpriced even at $10 and when the market tends to go down, you will get to see those claiming he market is dead and some other claims.

If bitcoin can be within the range of $6000 - $7000 and still being considered low, then I want you to imagine what the others would really be like in this scenario when we start seeing real life usage most especially.

i think that first you should know that if you invest there's always a risk, so if you lose money, then it's completely normal

Take a break and relax to avoid doing mistakes and stress on it .don't pursue your self on a risky situation. Must wait for the right time to sell or whatever you want.  Indeed market will not end which is it will recover again and again no matter what happen. So put more patience!  

You can buy porcelain plates and break them,  emotionally it will get better. ;D If you have not invested in a scam, then you need to wait.

The conclusion is very easy, that is, don't panic when prices and market conditions decline. It's better to drink tea in the morning to avoid a little stress. Don't think too much about it, it will interfere with health and a healthy way of thinking. Let's just say the wind that passes, it will definitely pass.

t is impossible to accept but you need to apply it wisely and not rush into extremes ! Never buy a coin for all the money ! In case it falls just buy more and you will not have nervous breakdowns !

I really do not see anything difficult at all in this journey. It is a downtrend, it is a normal thing and for one thing, it brings a good chance to be getting in at a very sweet price as far as I am concerned, and how you want to see it is left for you actually. The problem with a lot of people is that they focus so much on the short term and they tend to forget that over the years, this is nothing that is new, but at the end of the day, those who foresee the future to be bright and held on to what they had enjoyed it at the end.

There are a lot of people right now who are regretting their decision to become crypto investors and that is only a normal reaction to the market. If you are still here right now that means that you have being through the worst of it. you have watched the price of the coins fall and now is time for you to just wait for the prices to go back up. one way to keep yourself sane is to not look at the charts all of the time, trust me, you would be better for it.

In my first days i was very emotional about prices pumps and dumps but now after that huge bear market i started to be emotionless. Only i believe cryptocurrencies future and with my believe of crypto drops are not affecting me anymore.

If it is about sanity for anyone then i think it is time we walked away, and that stands true for each one of us. Invest only what you can afford to lose, and definitely have an alternate source of income. With crypto in such a state of flux, and so unpredictably volatile, its unhealthy to wait with bated breath or putting it in sync with the rise and fall of the market rates.

The key is to think about something else, just forget about the ones that have been dumped 90% and write them off completely. Look at different coins and diversify. This is the time to accumulate more not be depressed about the price

I stopped paying attention to what is happening in the market for a long time because I am almost sure that it will recover sooner or later. I have been in this market for a long time and during this time I have become more relaxed about it

it is hard to saty sane and i think that i understand you and i believe that we all need to be extremelly careful at duch issues

there can be really exhausting and you can find yourself worn out because of stress, so watch ylurself znd be careful

The main thing is not to worry. And every time it is better to provide not a pleasant situation and solve. What then, worry and regret. All our fears and experiences come in pairs without any particular reason.

Stop being mad about  things that you could not affect. When you see the market as a set of facts, where there is no place for emotion, it may be much easies for you.

it is true because in any investment there is a certain risk, even though what is received is large or small, we must be able to accept, because the return on investment is also very good and comparable to the risk

Damn, I have same sentiment this week. I badly needed money and looking at my wallet I don't know which to sell without too much loss and those bounty rewards I'm hoping either worthless or ico pause and there's just nothing much.
I don't know which to let go...I know investing is risky and all those thing but I'm just not sure how to hold on at this moment that I'm getting a little crazy, whiny and bitchy!

The first rule of investing that most people like to brush under the carpet "Don't invest more than you can afford to lose". You need to also break any emotional attachment to your investment and treat it like money you already gave away. Being a patient person is also going to help as you may need to wait longer than you thought to break even or make a profit.

Of course before put an investment in cryptocurrency you need to make a deep research, analyze every coins if it's having  potential. If you watch the history of crypto, you will know that this kind of situation is a normal. Patience is the key.

Facebook capitalization lost almost 8% during one night because of bad news. It means that 60 billions were erased and Mark is still fine. You shoudl try some yoga.

Try swimming. This greatly measures the nerves. If you see that your cryptocurrency slipped, go to the sports complex and swim there is the strength. You can sleep well and calmly make decisions in the morning. I do this 2-3 times a week. In order to drive out negative thoughts on cryptocurrency deposits.

Rather meri initial stress will go away and you will cool down a bit.

The market moves like a sine wave, each fall is followed by a rise, one day you will learn not to pay attention to price corrections. The crypto market is just beginning its way, and in the long term he expects a big growth.

be careful if such conditions are not immediately found the solution will cause psychiatric disorders, LOL. ;D
I suggest investing or trading using a cold budget.

be patient is the core of all our traits, so if we lose a lot of our assets be patient and keep calm,
don't immediately take the decision to release it (our assets) maybe someday we will grow back to our expectations,

Medication shoudl help you. You have to visit your doctor or even a psyhologist to be sure that you are fine, because it seems that you have nervous breakdown.

The whole market is a mess. Even expirienced investor loose a lot and they understand that it may be even worse. All you need is to rest a bit and start over again.

Well, you can feel better knowing you are not the only one.
I would say that basically everyone who first starts out has gone through that.
Not only with crypto but with any kind of investment.
It's just way more pronounced in crypto because the market is so volatile.

The best way I have found to deal with it is to set quarterly, yearly, and lifetime goals.
Start with the lifetime: who much do you want to earn through crypto and by when?
Then you can start breaking it down to targets every year, then every 3 months.

This has helped take a LOT of the stress and guesswork out of crypto.
Once I reach a target, I sell or trade.  If I don't, then I hodl, it's that simple.

just forget it for a while, i just do some activity like bounty, playing games, or holiday, something can make you forget with your coin.
yeah i lose  much value from my investment above 70%, but im still hold that expect it will be back soon or longtime.

this doesn't only happen to you, almost everyone who is involved in crypto experiences the same thing, too. however this situation we cannot change and just wait until the recovery goes on again with time. one thing I can do besides just waiting for growth is to make other choices to buy cheap altcoins and still have big proges in the future

I think that cryptocurrency is not a place for the weak, here you have to be ready for anything, so if you are unwell you should not waste your nerves.

You should always stay calm. Try to understand that the falling market won't last forever. One day it will recover and you will get huge profits even from that altcoin that has lost the most. Keep believing and be patient.

Eating, watching movies and listening to the music are the essential or effective for me to calm my self or to control the anger or sadness and also frustrated. But some of the time I let them out by "shout" just like "f*ck*ng market condition".

I have such a failure! In the Banti companies you lose a lot of time and effort, you don’t need initial investments!

Actually a lot of us believe the long term investment and we think that in a day, all things will come back old position. I really don't know it is possible but I know that this market and advantages are so valuable to future so I will gain some profit in the future.
