Question

I am 26 years old, have been working since I was 14, earned well, saved money, and entered the stock market at 22. Honestly, I was making money, losing money, but the situation was quite static. About two years ago, maybe a little after the war, I started only losing and losing money, arguing with my parents, endless arguments. No matter what stock I buy, it goes down, I sell it, it goes up by tens of percent, as if something changed, something became bad, I don't know what happened during this time. Honestly, I added the letter 'y' to my name Pinchas, and then removed it and returned to Pinchas. I don't know what to do, just losing, losing, losing. I buy stocks that go up, everything is fine, I buy, boom, bankruptcy announcement. Companies that were never thought to go bankrupt, can't make money at all, everything is lost, lost, lost. What should I do, what's wrong with me, and arguments with my parents, then talks, arguments, then talks, but the issue is economic, I'm trying, not succeeding. I took a loan, invested the loan in the best companies possible, lost everything.
