I lost my gmail...

I'm assuming you all know that you log into gmail using your google account. Right. Ok, so when i log in it says "Welcome to Gmail" and gives me the form to create a gmail address!!!
So basically, it doesn't recognize that i already have a gmail account, so i can't get to it. All of my gaming forum accounts have that email as my email, so i'm getting tons of emails right now that i can't read.
It's annoying, and i have no clue how to fix it.

Hi,

Here is something that you can try. Go to google.com. Then click on the Sign Out button in the top right if you are signed in. If you aren't then click on Sign In. From there you should be able to sign in and then be brought back to google. After that in the top left you will see a spot for Gmail click on that. It should bring you right to your account.

If that doesn't work, we can come up with something else to do.

Cheers!

I tried that but when i click on mail it asks me to sign in again,which brings me back to the "welcome to gmail" thing.

Did you accidentally remove gmail from the list of your Google services? (it's done via Google account settings?).
If you didn't, you can try clearing all your cookies. Though I'm not sure that will help.
