I started the summer with 100 HQ level, which means I met elite and flagship-tier enemies often in hard mode. 24 tries taken on E-1 for northern route with a fleet usually designed for map 2-5 running, avoided fight against Ru-flagship in night battle but troll elite sub, Ta-flagship on day and Ri-flagship attack on night crits randomly enough to increase rage point, then E-2 came and defend with same fleet as E-1 to store better ships for MI operation. E-2 itself taken 27 attempts, the boss equipment significantly decreased my sanity power (such trolling 5 inch - 12.7cm plain DD cannon with 170 firepower, enough to one-hit-critical DD/CA/CVLs like Re-chan... also takoyaki bombers can perform same hit too) and stuck on half gauge for 2 days (realising my shiden & tenzan as my CVL standard planes are not enough to compromise, changed them to reppu and ryuuseis borrowed from CV) before RNG turned point to mercy and let me finished that installation-type loli.

My suggestions for you now is take some time to rest and restore some sanity point, level up some ships and have better preparation for next event. It seems that you had done something wrong in the past that ruined your confidence and hope, keep calm when face abyssal enemies and good luck.
