Put in my final position at $7300 - Anxiety RELIEVED

*Not financial advice, more related to mental health*

I am just posting this in case anyone reading here is in the same boat.

I'd been flubbing since 5k waiting for a re-trace. then by the time I woke up my buy order at $6400 wasn't met by the flash crash on my exchange and I woke up with BTC at $7300 basically. What was scary for me is how quickly and surely all the BTC got ate up under $7k. So, I decided to bite and put in my last "large" position on BTC. (Large for someone who makes $15.50 an hour)

Now, even if there is a 50% retrace, I just feel so much better. I can always buy more. I'm only at 50% of what my "True goal" was but it's enough BTC to get me by. I'm not quite a 21 million club member. But my anxiety I've been carrying since April is just GONE.

The real lesson though, and where my mind went, was that waiting for a retrace in a bull leaning scenario is scary. I missed $2k worth of buys. We may see those prices again but even if so I just feel SO RELIEVED to have my position in. Just 2 days ago I was HATING the green wicks, as of today this $700 jump is my pal, my buddy and my friend.

In the grand scheme of things, 4, 8, 12 years down the road, I plan to HODL a minimum 10 Mil sats through it all, $7.3k will look like a beautiful price for BTC.

My portfolio is filled, my heart is full, my mind is at ease and only a day later my portfolios already back up substantially.

If you're reading this and still waiting and anxious... Try to keep this perspective in mind.

In 4 years it is highly unlikely we will be sweating a 2k price difference.

TLDR; if like me you have diagnosed anxiety or just market anxiety and are starting to go mad in your head but have a LONG TERM view of the market then just pull the trigger somewhere and fill your portfolio goals. If you're not irresponsible we can always buy more on sale.
