Nearly constantly between errors 502 and 521 now. This is the first time I have said this in three plus years here but I will seriously have to consider taking my autistic ass to another forum if this keeps up. Spending two to three times the amount of time per WP session that I should prevents me from pursuing my other interests and exacerbates my issue of going to bed too late. The last thing the socially awkward me wants to do is to start off fresh somewhere else and leave the relationships and wonderful people here.
I would hate to have WP leave the scene for several months for a complete rebuild but if it gets the WP experience at least to the 1990's, never mind to 2017 it will be worth it.
From my own experience as a programmer back in the '80's and '90's I know it is all too easy, especially with autistic traits and macho traits to get so wrapped up in a program, and so perfectionist that you get yourself in a negative loop. Just one more fix, just one more fix and it will be alright you say too yourself. I had to have people teach me that sometimes the whole project needs to be destroyed and you need to start completely over. In order to do that you need to admit defeat which is very difficult. Staying on WP is becoming that negative loop for me and I suspect many other regulars here now.
And yeah it happened again trying to post this. Lucky this time it did not delete my post mid post like last night
