I did something on the computer that locked me out of my Gmail account. 
I feel lost. Unable to get in touch with that part of my world, I contact them daily. It’s one of the first things I do while sipping my morning coffee and taking my meds. I go to my Gmail. I’m doubly pissed off because I made two friends recently and hoped to visit with them via my e-mail account.
I can read my Gmail account from my phone, but I never learned how to “compose.” I feel useless and all messed up, if you get my drift.
Am I regressing to a time when I felt the Universe was kicking me in the teeth? Yes. I haven’t felt this way since my worst days in the Vietnam War. Getting kicked in the teeth and feeling so hopeless about the world around me. I made it through those long ass days back then, never knowing if there’d be light at the end of the deepest and darkest days.
Overcoming a Disaster Can Be Achievable
I’ll survive this, too. But what misery, what pain I am going through right now.

How did this happen, you might ask. I applied a device called “Unblock.” I hadn’t tried it until the moment I couldn’t rid my Gmail of the unsubscribed newsletters that some son-of-a-bitch linked me to. I got more than a thousand newsletters in my Gmail. I think the same Trump supporter that I “unfriended” on Facebook caused this to happen.
I kept getting this one newsletter in some foreign language, and no matter what I did, I couldn’t stop the daily barrage. So, I tried to block it.
The next thing I knew, I couldn’t access my Gmail. I felt screwed!
Now I gotta find a way to contact all my contacts and let them know I’m going to have to get a new e-mail account.
This sucks.

The feeling of hopelessness freaking stinks. Especially when it’s due to a hostile source, as you suspect this is. I hope you’ve gotten things sorted out.
By the way, I just saw today that you have some diaries published on Daily Kos. Congrats! I love Daily Kos. They help me avoid getting complacent with the new administration.

It took me a while and I vented with this angry Blog post, but I found a way to get to my Gmail. I have to use Explorer and not Google Chrome.
Oh well, at least I can still see and read comments by some of the greatest writers this side of Collegeville, PA!

I truly feel your pain, brother. It’s so frustrating, especially when you use your email to store stuff like receipts, software registration details and the like.
I often fantasize about my work email, hoping that someday my storage will get all wiped out. Means, I’ll have an opportunity to start over, from scratch.
Good luck. Maybe there’s a way you can get it back. I did a quick search for the problem and found this. Don’t know if it’ll help or not:

Hi, not an ad-blocker that I’m familiar with, but try clicking on the uBlock button that should be on your toolbar, then edit your preferences to remove Gmail – if you can’t see the button, look in the 3-bar menu – Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars.
There may also be more options in the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A > Extensions).

Well, I tried but nothing seemed to work.
But then I went from Google Chrome to regular old Explorer. I got a new password and I snuck back in.

I’m back. But it is really scary. I can’t get to the Gmail from Google Chrome anymore. But that’s OK.
