Advice on managing anxiety

There is a Chinese literature called Taoism, which contains the theory of Yin and Yang. My understanding is that there is gain in failure and loss in success. If I feel anxious, I will temporarily put down my work and read these books that can calm me down. I have always hoped to be able to control my inner anxiety and become more mature. I know this is difficult to do.

I don't feel anxiety, maybe I drink alcohol quite often.

Not sure you are referring to anxiety when trading or something else?

i guess my gambling background was a help, making losing money something not worth looking into. its this mind set that everything is pre determined that helps coup with loses, its the one thing that generates anxiety anyway in my opinion, hope it helps, this reminds me of the countless HFM accounts i blew back in 2013, what a crazy run.

hello! hm maybe try learn yourself understand capabilities and limits, in terms of trading we can use proper RM and MM that is comfortable for us. for example we have $10000 equity we dont want to trade something like 5% per trade which we could lose $500! thats alot!.

maybe try 1% or 0.5%

I can understand you, brother! Anxiety is the problem that a lot of people deal with, especially when trading or handling pressure in daily life… What helped me most was focusing on simple habits rather than trying to fix anxiety all at once. Regular physical movement makes a BIG difference, believe me, even just walking every day, but would suggest you martial arts. I personally do Muay Thai 3 times a week, and go to gym 3 times a week. This helps me to get in shape and in good mental health. It burns off excess stress and clears your head more than people expect.
Breathing correctly is another underrated tool, but sounds weird lol. Slow & controlled breathing for a few minutes can calm your nervous system almost immediately. I found that one from an article. I also found that limiting constant screen time and news consumption reduced background anxiety a lot. The mind needs breaks as well, and you don’t have to feed it with a crap. Furthermore, you need to stay structured. Having a routine everyday with clear goals for the day, helps to prevents overthinking and anxiety. Like you just need to understand, that you need to be BUSY in order to get over anxiety. When you have nothing to do, you start to fall deeper and deeper in your feelings.
Lastly, don’t ignore rest. Good sleep, and allowing yourself downtime arent luxuries, they are foundations. Anxiety doesn’t disappear overnight, but consistent small habits genuinely make it easier to live with and control over time.
