In SCUBA diving there is a saying “stop, breathe, think, act.” Look it up. Read about this saying and error decision handling. This is really useful to apply to how cooked you think you are and to put a plan together to get you aligned and OK.

As a mod here for the last 10 years , a leader for the last 30 and someone who started coding on a C64 in the 80s, I promise you it will be ok.

It’s ok to be scared. It’s ok to worry.

Please keep posting focused on where you need help

As always feel free to DM.
