Ask HN: How do you deal with a big loss?

As someone who is always trying a new business. Last year alone I've lost 5M on sketchy deals. After which I went into mild depression. How do you deal with such losses?

  • I reclude myself and meditate until I start looking at the good things I still got and the good things that can come instead of the bad ones that happened. I force myself into feeling better not by forgetting what happened but by painfully decide to.
