Can’t agree more with the comment above. To put things in perspective - top 3 MBA and MBB rockstar recovering from a brain injury. I’d give up a lot to get my cognition and memory back. Money you can always earn back, but there is a lot of stuff in life that you can’t. I am working on learning how to be happy with what I have, learning my lessons from adverse events, and making better choices going forward

Wishing you all the best my friend - sounds like you’re on the right track.

Tell us what happened.

The latter but might extend into serious financial distress depending on how much I end up losing.

what decision did you make?

you took a risk and it didn't pay off. I applaud your bravery for doing whats best for you.

not everything will turn out the way we expect or planned.

I believe in you.

Your worth is not tied to your finances. You can be broke and still rich. Rich in love and life and happiness. Money comes and goes, we all make mistakes. It's how we learn. Don't beat yourself up over this. You will recover.

Thank you, everyone, for your kind words ❤️

Two part question:

1. What time do you wake up and go to sleep?

2. Any recommendations on how to regulate one's sleep schedule? I've been going to sleep between 1-2:30am. It's just really difficult to fall asleep and in turn, it's so hard to wake up in the morning and I'm exhausted during the day. It is hard to explain, but I'm tired enough and want to sleep at a decent time (between 10-11pm), but part of me is also very anxious and overwhelmed with having to restart a new day.
