If answered or said to yourself that you are, then that could be bad for your life and bad for your trading.
Not only are you not Ok BUT No one is truly OK.
Most of people’s lives are spent trying to make themselves feel or be OK. Until you truly can accept that you are not OK and never will be OK, you are NOT OK.
People prophesize failure, then they manifest it in some form.
Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein
Tendency in the unconscious that impels the individual to repeat certain actions, in particular, the most painful or destructive ones. The tendency to repeat earlier experiences or actions in an unconscious effort to achieve belated mastery over them. Sigmund Freud

PARALLEL PROCESSES What you are doing in other parts of your life will influence or impact your trading.
PARALLEL PROCESSES What difficulties are you facing?
What things do you not like about trading? Are these things also related to other situations? What can you do to change this?
PLANS WORK
EXPECTATIONS SABBOTAGE
How confident do you feel? How competent do you feel? How much confidence due you have in your competence?
