The road to insanity(mid/highstakes)

Since I am practically new on 2+2, at least when it comes to posting i'll start with a short introduction.
I am a swedish 20 year old mid/highstake grinder. Graduated from school in june 1.5 year ago with decent grades and have since then been living on poker.
I used to play highstake mtts but after having a unreal, super cold year 2011 I decided that I needed a change and at the end of the summer I slowly made the change over from mtts to cg.
Now I play mostly 5/10 but since I tableselect extremly thoroughly I play some lower stakes incase of lack of fish(obv higher 2). I still consider myself super-duper awesome in mtts and throw in a couple of higher ones each week with the hope that I will soon get the big score that I yet only have been close to.
I have a few horses in my stable that I work close by and coach. Really love coaching, getting to tell people what to do and explain why they just were ******ed is a great pleasure of mine
haha.
Not sure what this thread will be about yet. I decided to call it "The road to insanity" so I guess I will have to shair my very swingy life with you guys and hopefully this will be a 5 star thread the day that I finally give up and hits the berlin-wall of insanity.
Will be sharing graphs, thoughts, updates on my results and updates from my travels which I love to do(losing money live is awesome).
Take care guys
may the run good force be with you.

Been a couple of weeks since my first post now, havn't exactly started this thread out great but just havn't been able to gather the energy to write whilst doing bad online.
The day after my last post I picked up my friend to have a grindhouse for a week. The thought was to make a lot of $$$$ and being more sweaty than ever before. Unfortunately I had my biggest losing day ever of maybe like $17k which obv isnt that sick but for me who havn't been playing cashgames for so long it felt a whole lot
When grinding MTTs the most I could lose on a normal day was maybe like $6-7k.
After two cold days we decided to focus more on the MTTs instead. Had a decent amount of deep runs which all ended up loooosing with QQ, every time haha. QQ to 89s ai pre with 13 left in $109 1r1a, QQ vs QTs ai pre in the same tourney with 20 left the day after, QQ to KT @ AQx with 4 left on the FT of a €100 tourney etc etc. All CL pots obv
But whatever. Time to refocus and just crush it.
Will be traveling to France Poker Series in two days, decided to go last night so barely have time to pack the bags. It's a €1K Main with a bunch of sideevents in the french alps, so really looking forward to that
Here is graph, not looking pretty but whatever, turn it around after france.
Normaly since I mostly play fish, my red line goes down a bit and my blue line upupupup. Been playing a bit more agg lately I noticed. Hopefully when I start running a bit better the showdown goes up and the non-sd line stays where it is.
