Hello,I'm really glad you reached out. What you're describing is something many people struggling with compulsive trading or gambling-like behaviors experience, and it can be treated. You're not weak, and you're not beyond help.
What concerns me most is your statement that "the only way this addiction can end is with me." If you're feeling like you may harm yourself or that life isn't worth living, please don't stay alone with those thoughts. Tell a trusted family member or friend today, or go to your nearest emergency department if you feel you might act on them.
Next Steps
I would strongly encourage you to visit my clinic as soon as possible for a comprehensive psychological assessment. Together, we can understand what's driving these urges, help you regain control over your trading behavior, and develop a treatment plan that addresses both the addiction and the depression you're experiencing. Recovery is possible, and you don't have to face this alone.

Hi
It sounds like you’re stuck in a painful cycle where the urge to trade takes over even when you know it isn’t the right decision. This isn’t a lack of willpower, it’s a pattern that can be worked on with the right support. I’m a little concerned by your last line. If you’re feeling like life isn’t worth living or you’re thinking of harming yourself, please tell someone you trust or seek immediate help. You don’t have to face this alone.
Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

Few tips which can help:
Take a complete break from trading for at least 30 days. Delete trading apps, log out of accounts, and reduce exposure to market news.
Restrict access to money. Reduce available trading capital or have a trusted family member temporarily help manage access if needed.
Identify your triggers. Common ones include boredom, stress, loneliness, the urge to recover losses ("revenge trading"), or overconfidence after gains.
Replace the habit. Schedule exercise, hobbies, reading, or time with family during the hours you would normally trade.
Keep a journal. Record urges to trade, what triggered them, and how you responded. This helps you recognize patterns.
Avoid "just one trade." For many people with trading addiction, a single trade can restart the cycle.
Seek professional help. Cognitive behavioral therapy has good evidence for treating behavioral addictions. If anxiety, depression, or ADHD are contributing, treating those conditions is also important.
Consider a support group. Some people benefit from groups such as Gamblers Anonymous, especially if the trading resembles gambling.
