When I woke up this morning, I went through my usual routine of checking my emails, social media, etc. I tried to load this forum and there was a 522 error. Something about trouble connecting to the server? I assume others had the same issue.
Not a big deal. I should just give it a few hours and check back later, right? Wrong. I had to keep refreshing and checking the page incessantly. Walking my dog (refreshes page), eating breakfast (refreshes page), in a work meeting (refreshes page 10x). Tried accessing forum using my phone, tablet, and laptop. Began researching 522 errors to see if I could resolve it. Increasing amounts of anxiety.
Maybe I'm dramatizing a little but not much. I'm not saying this forum is a special interest but I realize this is exactly what happens when my routine is disrupted or I can't engage in a special interest. I become fixated on it and begin engaging in repetitive behaviors. Like my brain's own personal 522 error. *Mind blown*
