My friend, take hope. Pictures may be gone. But is it not true that the memories exist inside your family and yourself?

You don't have to give up BF2. You don't have to feel bad. I can see that what you lost was very important to you, but dude, you "gotta look on the bright side of life".

You don't have to forget, just remember. Their files on your computer. Sure, there not in any folder, but are they not in your memories?

Take a deep breath, get some rest, and you'll feel better. The community is here for you.

he is right

Thanks guys for all your support. I just wish I had the stuff the FBI has to find stuff deep in the hard drive, but somehow I don't think the FBI would cooperate with me. Its true that the memories are still with us but its just that there were pictures when she was completely unaware until she recovered.

My parents knew there was something wrong with the computer and that I was extremly upset about the current state of it (this dump computer from HP always gets messed up. Somehow, after returning home my sister had played on it and it didn't work again.) What they don't know is that i did the System Recovery and lost the pictures. Now there are pictures from before but they're only about 200 or so. Currently I have about 340 or so out of the original 500+. Its a very depressing statistic. As may not know I'm 15 and well, I've had stress before from studying but nothing that was emo or suicidal. This time its just a humongous guilt factor. I might just take a humongous break from BF2 and return when BF7 comes out.

P.S. I would give my account away but the task of changing the password is so long and its connected with just about every other thing I use e.g. e-mail

It was an honest mistake and could have happened because of Office, IE, Trillian, whatever.  You certainly didn't intend for this to happen and your family certainly had other options for data security than burdening you with the entirety of it.

And I would say that the important memories are certainly still in your (and perhaps more importantly to you - their) heart.

I'm lost. You lost 200 pictures so you made two topics and quit a game?

Err.... I don't know you.

I'm more than twice your age.

Hopefully that makes me a little more experienced in life.

Unless an addiction to a videogame was what caused the screw-up, I would advise *against* punishing yourself by quitting something you love.

Everyone makes mistakes. We are human. In fact, mistakes are so fundmental to being human that the human brain learns more from making mistakes than it does from doing things right the first time.

Learn from your mistakes, sure, but don't punish yourself to try and make-up for it. You'll only create a feeling of resentment over losing a hobby you love. Resentment that will get redirected to something that didn't cause the mistake, but the mistake involved. That's not healthy, in fact it's a ticket to see the shrink.

So in short - unless an addiction to BF2 caused the mistake, don't give it up because then you'll just mess your own head-up. In fact, during hard times it is good to keep at hobbies you like and enjoy - it is often like a form of meditation and can keep your emotions from spiralling out of control.

Best regards,

Windy

Theres one thing I didn't mention, even if i did come back I would need the CDs b/c it could taken away from the hard drive and my dad has those. See, my dad doesn't really like me playing games for 2 hours...even if half that time is crashing and all that.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Thanks everyone for the support and i think i may be getting the pictures back in a couple of days. And to theknuck and other guys...i'll love you guys even more when you can find me a server that won't crash on me

Why are you quitting, was BF2 the problem?

Glad to hear you may be getting them back!

I don't know if someone has posted this but data is not fully erased until it has be written over. There is a strong possibilty that your images may be recovered.
