I think one of the reasons this cycle feels like the scariest one to CT is we're now a few cycles deep and I'm guessing a lot of people here are now in that mid 6 to low 7 figure range. That's the scariest net worth to have while trading. You now have enough money to improve your life noticeably, pay off your car/house, eat nicer, dress nicer, take an extra vacation, etc. But you can't quite stop there because it's not enough for someone in their 20s or 30s to live off of for the rest of your life. So you wind up in this middle ground where you feel the need to push for more but you also feel concerned over protecting what you already made. You now have enough money that you can't just make it back with your paychecks like you could when you started trading with $10k or whatever. Fear is the worst emotion to have when trading and being at this net worth range means you're getting hit with fear from both sides. Fear you haven't made it and fear you're going to lose what you have made. I don't really have a solution to this since it's mostly a mental thing and everyone has their own ways of processing that. But one thing I would suggest considering is "creating a checkpoint". Like a video game, make it that if you "die" you don't start off back at zero. Cash a little out, pay off some of that debt, do whatever you need to do to feel you locked in your progress so you don't feel scared when you go off to fight the next boss. Good luck.
