Feeling discouraged - new investor

L

I just started investing in a brokerage account with a pretty medium risk portfolio. I’m 31, make over 6 figures (barely). I have my personal savings, a pension, and I’m doing fairly well. I recently invested about 50K into the market right before the new year and I’ve done nothing but watch it lose hundreds daily.

Now watching it is my first mistake.. I’m in this for the long haul investing and can take the losses as I know the line always goes up and I won’t really touch that account for over 20 years

But damn I’m super discouraged. Is this really worth it? Does anyone have a crystal ball for me?

Side note, on a financial and personal level, this current admin can get fucked.
