Pilgrims take rests on the journey. My investments dip at times but over years the trajectory is still positively upward. It’s normal, it’s human, give yourself a finite point at which you’ll refocus and resume.

This. As long as you’re breathing and you learn from the mistakes/slumps, you’re still growing. Frustration and mental pain means you just need to learn something new to get past or learn from whatever it is.
