Thinking (correctly or not) you're losing when you (mistakenly thought you) had every damned reason in the world to win is frustrating as hell. This is a hard path to walk, and many people are experiencing it for the first time. The panic and upset is very real.

Please try to be gentle. For better or worse, we're in this together.
