Dude--if you don't mind me saying, you might want
to get some help. 90% sorrow--gotta fix that. And
I'm sorry to hear the raising the kids is an
"obigation", I'm sure it can be tough at times,
lord knows my brother and I kept my folks busy
way back then...but you've gotta look for the
good stuff and get yourself cheered up. I see
from your recent messages you're trying to
focus on some little things, small pleasures--
that seems like a good start. Also might want to get
away from the PC--take to some offline people--you
can only take this virtual community stuff so far before
it becomes a bit lame.
Mike are you happy with your life?
yeah, I'm very lucky, it pretty much kicks ass,
if there is anything I can do to help you get
undepressed here on SI, no sweat--I've got
plenty of advice, and it's all free! But a
professional sounds like a good idea too for you.
First step, find some good help. Plus if it's
the market which has you down, maybe you need
to cut back your exposure. I personally keep my
savings out of the market and play with what I
call "house money"--the trading gains. What about
you?
New purpose for this thread: Gotta cheer up Jon K!
--and remember, it doesn't have to have meaning.
Ever watch kids play--not a lot of meaning, maybe
you just need to learn how to play again--and
I don't mean playing the markets, stocks are a
lot of frustration sometimes--take a break from
that nonsense--I know all about how trades become
investments, but it's okay. Maybe one really should
know everything they can about their companies.
Final bit of advice--might not want to be trading
on margin if you have the blues, yikes. Good luck,
hope you cheer up. |
