After Losing My P2P Business, I’m Struggling to Find My Next Move

I have felt mentally blank since my P2P business collapsed in February 2026. I also lost more than $12,000 after sending funds to the wrong wallet. The losses affected my motivation, confidence and ability to think clearly about what to do next. For years, P2P and arbitrage took nearly all my time. It improved my life, but I neglected other skills and business options. When rising platform charges made the business unprofitable, I realised I had built too much around a platform I did not control. I have stepped back from some relationships and distractions, travelled briefly to clear my head, and returned to reading and learning. A business and entrepreneurship class has helped reshape my mindset, but I am still struggling to identify a new line of business. I am determined to rebuild my creativity, discipline and income. I would appreciate practical advice from people who have recovered after losing a business or changing careers.
