I had hidden leveraged trading losses for years. By the time loans, interest and forced exits were counted, the damage was around ₹6 crore. I believed I had destroyed my family's future and entered a severe mental-health crisis.
I made an attempt to harm myself and survived after emergency intervention. When I regained awareness, my retired father was sitting beside me. He did not ask about the money. Later, with professional support and family involvement, we began dealing with creditors and selling assets. The debt is still real, but I now understand that leaving my family with both the financial damage and my death would not have repaired anything.
