I am an idiot. I had a pension invested in a SIPP (mainly investment trusts) and some savings in stocks and shares ISAs.
Over the years I have continually stressed about what the stock market is doing which led to me putting the money into cash in 2019. Since then I have been equally stressed about the stock market going up while my money is in cash.
I really need to reinvest this but for the last few months everyone has been saving the market is overvalued. I know I should not care as I don't need the money for 20 years but know that as soon as I reinvest it the market will go down.
Please can someone talk some sense into me. It is making me really stressed. I know I should just invest it somewhere for the long term but I don't think I can cope with the stress of it.
