Hang in there! It takes a while to get used to the volatility in crypto, especially if you're used to stocks. When I first bought into btc, I was underwater for 14 months.
14 months? Wow. Did you hold the whole time? I am 20% down from the beginning. How deep did you dip?
I held, but made an effort not to constantly check prices, that would make it harder to hold on. I bought in with the intention to hold long term, regardless of short term price moves.
