I always heard elders say:

Don’t use leverage Don’t put all money in one asset Don’t chase quick profits Invest only what you can afford to lose

All of it was correct. And I ignored almost all of it.

I had $67k invested. I went 3x long on DOGE exactly one hour before the big crash. I ended up losing around $22k. I can’t even explain the regret. Sleepless nights, overthinking, constant stress, even hair fall. It’s been mentally exhausting.

Now I’m trying to think clearly instead of emotionally.

If I calculate properly, I can restore at least 65% of my capital if DOGE goes back to $0.12. I’m thinking of buying spot (no leverage this time) and just holding till end of year.

My honest question:

If I HODL for 1–1.5 years and mentally detach from the money, is recovery realistically possible? Or am I just coping and trying to avoid accepting the loss?

What would be the most rational action I can take right now?

Cut losses and move on with life? Buy spot and hodl ? Exit crypto completely?

Please give me honest advice. I clearly learned a very expensive lesson thinking I could “win” the market. I don’t want to make another emotional mistake.
