Also, you need to set some boundaries my friend. I know it’s family, but they need to understand that you need a certain amount of uninterrupted time. Having a hobby is a great release for our shortcomings like anxiety/depresion etc

Follow the 3-3-3 rule to calm yourself.
Notice three things you can see around you, identify three sounds you can hear, move three parts of your body and the anxiety should hopefully settle.
But most important, in my opinion, are the boundaries. The time for you to do you.

right been trying for years to get the boundaries set, haven't had much luck yet, but gonna keep trying on that part.

its settled more than eariler the anxiety, and hopefully stays settled rest of evening

think tomorrow morning gonna take a hour or two movie break from Computers lol, was gonna eariler today, but decided to try to solve the backup issue lol.

somedays are better than others, and some days are worst than others typically around here.

But will have things all set asap here, and this desktop with a nice fresh install eventually here in the coming days, perhaps next weekend

Happy to have a nice forum that is so helpful to resort to though when i was frustrated with Acronis eariler, honestly probably should've just paid for a Subscription to Macrium or remembered to deactivate it on old system lol.

Acronis is ok, but this is first time i ever had an error like this lol--but i will figure out how to get it solved someway

Good idea. You also need to set boundaries for yourself. When a passion (computing in this case) becomes a chore at some stage of your processes, you need to remove yourself. Watching a movie is a great idea, or going for a walk somewhere nice, whatever. Breathe.
