Must have been a very traumatizing experience. I commend you for holding it together for over three weeks not knowing if you would ever get back your account.
One thing steemit has that no other social network has is the wallet feature. This is real numbers we are talking about and it basically matters a lot when money is involved.
So true...but I was also saddened to think my blogging enjoyment was going to be lost as well...unless I started over which would have been hard knowing what was left behind...
Fortunately I learned not to panic and usually have a good sense that something will work out...sometimes you just have to keep digging...which is one of my strengths...
