Your stomach should turn more by actually realizing those losses rather than just letting it ride.
Market downturns mean nothing! You lose literally nothing; you still own the same things you did in the morning, and will own those things again in 5 years (or more based on splits/dividends).
Honestly yeah, this is kind of a critical part of profitable investing; if you can’t hold through downturns, you ought to find someone who can and then forget about that money entirely.
