Robby, sorry to hear your story :-(
but 'I starting investing with real money about a year ago' seems like you had an amount of 'practice' with 'dummy-trading' but found out 'real-money' is not quite the same and yes, doing your own thorough research is vital rather than listening to rampers. Hope things improve for you through focus and hard yakka, whatever it takes in an honest way.
