It's rough, but it helps to look at a five-year chart. Or even longer. And to remember that unless you'll be retiring soon, this will be a memorable episode but let's hope it'll be an aberration. And seriously, there's not much you can do about it now, that ship sailed in November.
Honestly, I stopped looking. The system’s rigged anyway—Wall Street gambles, we lose. Long-term investing sounds great until your “long term” is funding someone else’s yacht.
Mine is hurting, as I'm sure everyone else's is. It's hard seeing all that growth vaporized overnight and seemingly with no justification. It's depressing, but I'm just going to hold steady and try not to look at it too much until things start getting better.
Why ask?
I think the OP made it clear why she asked. Did you read the post until the end? Or maybe you think gaslighting is helpful and constructive 🤔

Totally feel you—it’s tough seeing those drops, especially when you’re doing all the “right” things. I’m holding steady for now, trying not to let the short-term noise get to me, but it’s definitely easier said than done.
Don’t look. Sit tight. The market always eventually goes up! I can’t post the pic but google S&P 500 90 year history chart.
I cannot look. Yes, stay calm and leave it be, but as we get closer to retirement age, that's easier said than done. I'd love to have the means to stash it under a mattress, but having a good financial advisor is key.
I’m not looking either but honestly, everyone is in the same boat. Best to just wait it out.
Honestly I haven't even looked at mine now that you mention it. I probably should look but I just have this feeling I am going to be really upset if I look so maybe ignorance is bliss in this situation haha.
