So as someone w pretty significant and severe anxiety I am wondering if there's anybody else here who suffers from the same and still manages to put their money into the market.
I am always concerned about the fact that I am going to put in a lot of my free cash and then within a month or two months or 6 months the market will crash and I am going to be much worse off than I was if I didn't invest the cash. I know that I tend to go into the worst case thinking and that if I had put my money in the market in Voo years ago I would be better off today than having just held the money in a high-yield savings account or money market. Today typically the way I do it is trickle in a little bit here and there when I see a mag7 stock or voo on a discount but still 80% of my free cash is on invested and I am 45.
So really I'm just asking for people here who suffer from significant anxiety how do you manage to still invest in the market whether that be individual stocks or voo and spy while maintaining and being able to manage your anxiety. Thanks
And please this is only for those with severe anxiety who can relate. Ty
