i keep saying those words - stop feeling sorry for yourself, the con artist might have made a quick buck, but probably has zero prospects, zero career, and a short life expectancy... at least i have a good career, good income, etc.

yet for some reason it still must be bothering me, i feel anxious, nervous, small, its like my mind has a problem inside that it's working overtime trying to fix... but there is no "fix" ... its done, i got robbed pure and simple, there's nothing to figure out.

I think I have a form of OCD that doesn't allow me to let things go..

i often replay events in my head over and over.. wondering how someone can be so heartless etc.

I'm just thinking now about how affected i'll be if something much worse happens? a violent mugging? a house burglary? I am clearly not prepared for these type of things..

If you can't cope and it's interfering with your daily life, see a doctor. If not, deal with it. Everybody replays events in their head, sometimes with more preferable outcomes than what actually happened...it's comforting and is a coping mechanism.

I don't act like a baby and accept it as a learning experience.


If every mistake is a new one, you're making progress.

*How often are you getting robbed/scammed/conned?

very infrequently compared to the number of deals i do, which is why this over-analysis of it by my mind is so irrational..
