I had been hoarding some bitcoins for a long time. But today I was forced to sell that bitcoin for family needs. Tried a lot but could not manage the required money.
Hodling might mean hold for dear life to most but, what life would that be when you let your problems eat you up even though you've got the funds to settle them. You haven't done anything wrong in liquidating your crypto portfolio but, having to sell all of it is something that shouldn't be and like you said, you just couldn't help it and so I can imagine what hell of a conflicting decision you had to make.
Better still, your holding in bitcoin has helped you attain some stability and that's great.
