TAILS persistent volume fucked up

So, I just started up TAILS as I normally do, and I open up my electrum wallet like I normally do, except TAILS hadn't synced with the TOR network yet, so I closed out of it. Then, once it synced, I tried opening it up again and it wouldn't start the program. It simply did nothing.

So, I restarted TAILS and tried to open it again, but it still wouldn't. I went to look at my bookmarks in TOR and they were gone. My keys were all gone. I was panicking at this point and went to check to see which items in the "Configure Persistent Storage" were checked and the persistent file storage was the only thing selected, and the few things I had saved were still there.

I restarted TAILS again, and my bookmarks are now back, but my electrum wallet still won't open (I have the seed for that), but the main issue is my private key is gone. I've been using this USB drive for a little under a month so I didn't have my key backed up yet, and I have orders that need finalized and some leftover Bitcoin in a few market wallets that are secured with 2FA.

Has anyone experienced similar problems? I really need that key back...

You're good. Back up your shit next time. Veracrypt is stupid easy. Look at the vera documentation(instructions) for 5 minutes and this will never be a problem. Download off github, check sha256, install.

Your computer might have shut down before tails was ended.

Go to Applications in the top left

Hover over Tails

Configure persistant volume

Select everything you'll need and click save.

Restart and log in.

There is a god out there. It's me.

This doesn't fix your situation, but for the record, the seed *is* your private keys. Every private key is derived from the seed, so if you have the seed, your private keys are safe. You can restart a non-persistent Tails (so you don't fuck with your persistent partition), and restore your seed and all your keys and money will be available.
