After a winning streak, losing $1600 left me anxious and desperate to quickly recover the loss. I end up sleepless and impulsively rushing back. Any advice on overcoming this urge?

Hey, I totally feel you on this one. When I’ve been trying to shake off a loss, I’ve found that stepping back for a bit—even if it’s just a quick breather—really helps me reset. Sometimes instead of directly jumping back in, I take a walk or chat with someone. It doesn’t fix things instantly, but it stops you from making rash moves in the heat of the moment. Also, maybe write down what you’re feeling; it can be super therapeutic and might help cut through that emotional fog. Seriously, we all slip up sometimes, and it’s important to be kind to yourself. You’ve been through a lot with that loss, so give yourself the same care you’d give a friend. Keep at it, you’ll find your balance again!
hey, i get it; losses hit hard. taking a brek to do other things reely helps, stop that rush. stepping away, even for a bit, can save u more in the long run. you’re not alone, try being patient
based on my own experience, i found that making impulsive moves after heavy losses can really deepen the struggle. when i lost a significant amount, i started tracking my thoughts and feelings, even if it meant jotting quick notes in a small journal. this helped me notice patterns in my behaviour that led me to act in haste. i slowly began to implement a cooling off period before any further plays, which allowed me to think thru my decisions more clearly. over time, pausing even for a few minutes changed my approach and helped me regain control.
