Trying To Start A Thread Of My Own...

[EmmaOwl]

Ok I am about to start screaming (metaphorically).

The past couple of days my mind has been dreadfully unfocused. I've been on this site a good bit and wanted to contribute further to some ongoing threads, and possibly start a thread of my own. I've started to do these things, and then I delete at the last minute - I realize I am rambling and having trouble being coherent/linear. Aka, no one would understand me, but me. So I've spent a good bit of time writing, and then deleting before actually completing a post and putting anything up.

I FINALLY got this down, conveyed some of my frustrations here and was nearly ready to post.... and then what? My page went away and I lost my writing! Now THAT is too much.

That's all. Just rough! I hope everyone reading is beginning their week on a more positive note than I am :)

Same here. It happened to me recently in ENGLISH!!!:banghead: I am not fluent plus this is not like writing the shoping list, is in not?:dead::O_o:;)

The site saves a draft every few mins. Go back to the area you were in. Click on post new thread, and it should be there up to the last time it saved a draft.

Isn't THAT the truth?? :)
Also, Maria - your English skills - you do quite well!

Thanks - I am always looking fo 'secrets' and tips on this site. This feature is set up very well. But this time, for some reason - poof! No saved draft. Maybe I wrote it more quickly than I thought. I must have done something wrong.

Frustrating, as I could not reconstruct what I had written just a moment ago. Heck I forget my sentences halfway through speaking them.

But thanks again for the suggestion! It has helped me in the past and it's a good one to keep in mind.

Every 30 secs or so it saves so doubt you wrote the whole thing that fast. You do have to hit "post new thread" in the exact same area since thats what it was, a reply if thats what it was etc, but yeah, i get it. I wrote a my first diary post, took me all day at work to write...was doing it on a memo pad on my phone and lost it while trying to copy & paste it here. So i totally get the frustration.

Yeah. It's weird - I have always been able to trace myself backwards on here in the past. If it's remotely possible to screw something up, I will manage it!
Thank goodness I had therapy today. I do feel much less frantic now. Thanks for the support - it truly helps to know there are others around to listen to my screams, however metaphorical!
I just hope I can pay back as much as I get.

others around to listen to my screams

I'm in the process of building a sound-proof booth full of delicate glass breakables so I can go in and metaphorically scream my head off and smash up expensive stuff. You're welcome to try it out:)

@Ragdoll Circus i think it was @gizmo that told me to go buy "china" at a trift shop and break them all. Still looking to do that. Wanna buddy up? Lol

Well I did take a mallet to a whole pumpkin once (for realsies) and smashed to pulp. It felt fking good!

**All metaphorical screams Officially Welcome** :)

Just kidding;) — All pumpkin smashers Officially Welcome, too!
