Why are the sales proceeds and cost basis so high on my 1099-B?

Urgent, hello I'm wondering why both of my proceeds and cost basis is so high and if that's normal? While doing my taxes I noticed that my proceeds and cost basis was over $250,000 when I only invested about $30,000 with a loss of about $5000. I'm 100% sure that at no point did I have $250,000 in my account, I just want to make sure this is normal so I can stop panicking.
