I Am Sad

My mac is sick and I'm terrified the hard drive will be wiped. And no. I haven't backed up in quite sometime which as a student, is absolutely foolish of me 😒

Any mac users experienced the image above?

try a Safe Boot.
hold down the shift key when you turn it on.
and hold it till after you hear the start up sound
let me know.. there are other things if that does not work
