anyone else uses the stock market as an escape and is this healthy. i feel a stock market addiction is better than alcohol or sex addiction or over eating. What do you think?

Swapping one addiction for another is unwise. I prefer to invite the Holy Spirit into my life and take in the Word of God that fills me with strength and optimism. It's possible that's exactly the same void you are attempting to fill with those addictions.
are you a mormon?
i believe that we have free will and that love is from god. the fact that we live in a society where love is a bad thing means that people dont respect love and take it for granted. if investing in the stock market is the only safe way i found to escape the pain of my broken heart its better than what some have done when the devil tried to destroy them. i believe that god has a say in why and when people fall in love with someone and that sometime its a test for somebody. either way if you are a mormon please dont tell me mormon stuff because i personaly dont believe in mormonism.
i believe that god is love and that people are boded by love. the divider and the detroyer of love is satan. that is my believe. anyone who tells you that love is bad or love is cheesy. or obsessive in my opinion is noone other that satan himself. all this is based on my personal belive and my own faith. you can believe whaever you want but to try to make into a mormon thats all i am asking
I am not a Mormon. I am Christian. Of course we have free will. You said 'if investing in the stock market is the only safe way i found to escape the pain of my broken heart its better than what some have done when the devil tried to destroy them.'
But you forget, Satan will encourage the replacement of one addiction for another that makes you feel better... but that keeps you away from true salvation and love! Satan will corrupt love in order to keep you away from it... because he will always attempt to kill, steal and destroy through deception.
Also bear in mind that there is a reason why you found yourself putting this question here.
You wrote 'if investing in the stock market is the only safe way i found to escape the pain of my broken heart..'
I challenge you to read a little of this book out loud each day and tell me that nothing has changed. It has to be done out loud or it will not work. Also bear in mind that although Christian, I never used to believe, also suffered with all kinds of different problems and addictions for years. But everything changed after I invited God into my life.
I am not here to convert you, I am here to offer you an opinion. The book is 'I Am Who the Bible Says I Am, I Have What the Bible Says I Have, I Can Do What the Bible Says I Can Do by Jake Provance and Keith Provance.'
i dont class love as an addiction love is good and the bible always talks well about love.
i also turn to god for help. since i dont love this guy as much i have not traded on the stock market a much.
thank you for your advice. i am sorry for accusing you of being a mormon. those people really scare me and the last think i need is to be sucked into a cult. i will try to follow your advice and go to church more. my experience with having my heart broken has really affected my life. when it first happen i was in church everyday asking god why i loved this man. and what i should do about it. i believe sometime rejection is protection. and that god protected me from this man.
Indeed, rejection can be protection. I know a lady that broke up with her partner and although heart broken, her life is so full of love and spirit now. Later she realized that he was toxic to her life in so many ways but at the time, she didn't see any of it!
Earlier on I was watching this video that the person I just mentioned recommended to me and I think you may find it useful as well. It took me a little while before I realized the depth of what he was saying but it made so much sense!

Also, if you're not sure God is listening, check this video out! I call it the ultimate faith booster and it's one of the most amazing videos I've seen.

i never did and it seems dumb and too risky
its not dumb you can make money from it but if you are addicted you most likely will lose because you will buy and sale stocks for the sake of it rather than to make money and wait for the right time. i think stock market addicts invest for the dopamine not for the money. they rather lose all there money but get dopamine that leave their stock alone and get money.
