I'm still up by a decent amount (+16k), although I'm roughly at 1/3 of what I was at (+50k). Until I got to around 20k I didn't seem too phased but as the market and tech continue to drop I'm stressed throughout the day and keep checking my app every 10 minutes instead of working or enjoying my day.
I know I'm in it for the long term and that it will go up eventually, but I'm worried that up can take a few years if things go south and I'm not sure if I can mentally handle the fact that my gains will be wiped out—or even worse—that I'll be in the negative.
Was anyone in a similar spot and decided to cash out while they were still up? I am just engulfed by fear?
