I think I enabled safe mode permanently or something, many of the options are
greyed out, including save and such.

I cannot add or edit any existing data to the cells! Please help im racking
my brain!

Maybe sheet/book protection is accidentally activated?

Click Tools Protection

Do you see:
Unprotect Sheet ..
Unprotect Workbook ..

If so, try clicking the above to toggle it off
(works only if there's no password set)
