I'm kinda having an off day and I'm frustrated |D



I was working on my bit for the Telephone Art Game I started up again and I had SAVED it, multiple times, but after I had to restart my computer earlier the entire file is just MISSING. It and 2 other files I was working on just disappeared. And I'm stupid careful about saving, I individually saved EACH of those files before I closed them and then closed photoshop, there is no way they should have just disappeared as if they were never there. I found a shortcut to the file, but it leads to nothing, so the computer definitely knows it existed at some point, but other than that there's just nothing. I checked for any restore points and there are none, there's nothing in photoshop's auto-recover, I've looked through all my files :C

And the other weird thing is, it didn't do this to other files I had open too, there were like, 2 other files I had to close out of before restarting, that I made AFTER the ones that are missing, and they're completely fine. Like I am just completely dumbfounded as to why in the world it did this.

It's a little silly for me to be as upset as I am, but I've been struggling with art for a couple years and though I've recently been getting better I don't have my normal drive to do things still, and failing or losing progress feels more devastating than it should, especially something I was actually feeling good about and as coming out how I wanted it. I think I'm so pissed because I've had the worst summer ever and I can't seem to catch a break anywhere lol

UGH. I'll probably get rid of this later but I just needed to vent the frustration so I can take a breath and continue, I'll be fine but just buh

why do I always find the most dramatic bugs, every time |D
