I must discuss my agony; my mind is in copium overdrive

I have been working with ChatGPT vigorously for days regarding a story I am writing. This story delves into the lens of my theory of existence via the lens of a creative story, but that is ultimately irrelevant. I had been intricately explaining myself over the course of several days. Along my walk home today, I had intricately though of the most proper way of explaining my 1-5 system via the lens of a specific paragragh that detailed such. ChatGPT froze at this very moment as I entered in the paragraph.

‘Very well, not the first time this has happened’ I exclaimed. I then began the painstaking process of clearing my cache, carefully copy-and-pasting my well-constructed words. Though my mind was threadbare in panic, I remained calm.

Then came the email verification. Oh great, another step I screamed. I then copy and pasted the code. I then realized, to my horror, the deception.

I continue to exude frustration. My words are lost. And my mind if so ravenously furious that I cannot recall them.

I have a request. I would like someone with more experience to help me though this incredibly turbulent pain. Can someone explain why this has happened? Can anyone contact me directly? I would deeply appreciate if my words could be salvaged somehow. This software is wonderful, but this error with almost calculated precision in its concavity has made me existentially woeful. Please send any help to Tylerbigskoo@gmail.com.

This does not solve the problem, furthermore, I find the lack of an apparent ‘flag button’ to be rather troublesome and obtuse to anyone unfamiliar with navigating such agonizing, unclear message. (I screamed this in-person, just so you do you know. I am sorry, this is how frustrated I am with this.)

I am not known for writing great letters of consolation but, if it helps, the chat history is likely to re-appear at some point in the future.

Rather sooner than later, I hope.

It does not. Forcing myself to clear the cache has removed my history. furthermore, the freezing nature of the conversation perhaps entailed the lack of upload to the server.

If you didn’t choose the option to delete the conversation then your choice to clear the cache doesn’t have any influence on my predicted outcome.

That is heartening to know. Are you able to retrieve the original paragraph detailing my concept of the forces of 1-5?

Go to privacy.openai.com and request a download of your data.
This should work.

You will know you’ve passed it when I start veering into frustrated screaming/typing.

It’s more simple than that.
Navigate to the link I provided and make a privacy request. For your ChatGPT account you will want to download your data.
The file will arrive via email. Make sure you are logged in.

Maybe take a break from wrestling with the software.

I understand. I am merely frustrated by circumstance, not the wonderful software. I shall have to look forward to retrieving it from the log. Thank you for your time. Could you perhaps offer a layman’s explanation to why this occurs?

I’m sorry but I cannot make sense of this report. It isn’t something I’m familiar wuth sorting through.

Actually, no, I don’t know what it’s causing the chat history to not load in your specific case.

I am referring to a website, not an email address.

I do not see a shred of chat history. I have the download.

Please help me understand what to do.

From inside ChatGPT go to settings → data controls and then export data

You will receive a copy of all your conversations via email. Then you have to find your lenses there.
