I’m just taking this off my chest. I may seek help eventually.

Seeing the suicide hotline post in Terra’s sub really triggered me. I don’t know if it’s just a gimmick or for real, but it just broke something in me.

I’m about to get this off my chest because I feel I need to, regardless if something like this should be posted here on this sub or not. It is purely personal experience, so if you’re not interested, just move on.

I lost a lot of my life savings on this UST shit going on right now.

Firstly, I want to say that I made mistakes in crypto, but I learned good lessons. And it’s time to put those lessons and experience in play so I can finally make some profit.

My plan was to reduce the risk as much as possible, so I kept my stash ready for when the market presents a good opportunity, and I planned only to buy BTC and ETH. No risky altcoins.

Then I thought to myself “Hey, why not earn a few bucks with this cool 18% APY on UST while you’re waiting for the prices to move down?” I mean it’s a stable coin, it’s same as USDT or BUSD, or at least I thought so back then.

This was the most unlucky decision I’ve ever made. We all know how it turned out. More than half the initial investment is gone even before I start.

What’s really getting on my nerves is getting screwed in the most unexpected manner.

That, and besides I’m facing a lot of shit outside the crypto world. I have issues running my business in these shitty times. I’ve invested 60K in another business model with my 2 buddies who decided to abandon the project halfway through due to financial difficulties.

I know this is unrelated here, but it seems like nothing is working out for me, everything I try I keep receiving loss after loss.

All I think about in this world is supporting my wife and 3 kids and provide them a better life and/or escape from this shit hole (I live in a 3rd world nation).

I’m not thinking about suicide, it’s absurd, but my mental stability is really taking a hit, degrading day after the other, and I feel silly just writing these few lines.

The reason I wrote here is that I thought some of you here will understand. I just need someone to remind me that it’s going to be ok.

I hope everyone else here find their strength in their own battle.
