The deception is not discovered till its way too late. Some people even die having never realised the lie (eg the Red Barn cult.)
The process of recovery from a mind**** may require professional help, and typically involves intense and disturbing emotion, such as shock, confusion, or fear.Researchers now say that any ordinary person can be conned in this way; one does not have to be especially gullible or naive because the perpetrators are highly skilled at what they do. Have you ever had an experience like this? If so, how did you recover? If you have avoided one or more - how did you recognise the signs? Did you tell the person (or group) what you honestly thought? Did you blow the whistle? less

I didn't even look at the file type; just added data to it for a couple of days while clicking the save button occasionally to ensure my data wasn't lost. I seriously added at least two days of research to it across several extra sheets. I just rebooted my computer and discovered all my work is gone. Only the main page still exists. From what I understand, CSV files are only one sheet; you cannot save multiple sheets, but I would have assumed Excel would have warned me before I closed it that most of my work wasn't saved or would have given me an error message. I never got any kind of notice anything was wrong.Is there any chance those extra sheets are still floating around on my system somewhere that I might be able to retrieve them from? less
