I am in a similar boat. Over exposed original with a plan to not be over exposed over time by increasing broader holdings. In reality more of the future cash than I would have liked went into getting the average to somewhere where there is a hope in hells chance, one day, of getting out without losing too much skin.
In terms of the anxiety, everyone is different and their situation is different. But a good year or two ago I mentally wrote it off and focused on rebuilding elsewhere. I am taking the approach that the money is gone. That way I can mentally leave it for as long as is needed. It will be a very different conversation if we were at or around break even. Paper value that is left I could recoup in cash in 3 or 4 months so it's just not worth taking the loss for me. But as I say, everyone is different. I've chalked it up to experience. If I had my time again I would have taken the loss at 4x the current price. But I don't. Lesson learned. It's written off as an error, a life lesson. Maybe it will come good. Maybe I'll lose it all.
