It’s not just you, Gmail is down for everyone. The internet is in the middle of a freak out right now as several Google services, like Gmail and Google Plus, are temporarily out of order.
This is what users are currently seeing when they try to access Gmail.
Google Plus is also experiencing some communication errors.
There were several ways to take the news about Gmail going down.
Some declared a state of emergency.

While another decided that it was time to quit for the weekend.
If Google goes down on a Friday, does that mean it’s the start of the weekend? #gmail #down

Gmail wasn’t down for very long today. It’s already back for some users while it’s painfully slow for others (me). Still, today’s outage did make many people realize something about their lives and internet habits.
That moment you realize 90% of what you do is tied to Google. #whengmailwasdown
