$BTC My account hasn't blown up, but my life has.



To be honest, after trading futures for half a year, I've never experienced a single liquidation, yet I've been hit with a full-blown case of "trading PTSD."

The first thing to collapse was my sleep. I wake up at 2 or 3 AM automatically to grab my phone; the last thing I see before bed is the K-line, and the first thing when I wake up is my positions. LAB is down 50u, ETH is up 20u, far from the liquidation price, but I just can't stop refreshing. I'm anxious whether I'm up or down. Coming to crypto feels like cultivating immortality.

Next is my mindset. A few hundred dollars of gains or losses doesn't faze me, but I hesitate for ages over a $20 bubble tea in real life. Profits no longer bring joy, only exhaustion and calculation — is this enough to cover the hole? Enough to withstand the next wave of volatility?

The only thing that brings me peace is that tiny 0.34U BASED position, which made 0.06U, quiet as a background plate. The big positions torment me day and night, but the small random orders have become my safe haven.

Now I've completely given up. No more staring at the charts, no more canceling orders, no more anxiety. Let the market do what it wants. I'll take the loss if I have to.

True liquidation isn't the moment you get force-closed. It's when your life gets drained by the K-lines, when your emotions crash, when your account is still there but you're empty inside. The account hasn't blown up, but life has — that's probably the fate every futures trader can't escape.
