Anyone else feeling like they’re mildly unlucky at the moment?

[Ehatshouldido]

Feels like every decision I make is a crap one lately. It’s like either I’m mildly unlucky, or have lost the ability to make good choices, if that makes sense.

Anyone else ever feel like that?

Hey OP. I’ll join you. Yes I do right now. I don’t know how serious your run of bad luck is so I don’t want to downplay it. Mine was possibly just a reversion to the average … some stuff happened before that which was arguably lucky for me so maybe the universe is just balancing itself out.

I’m sorry you’re having a bad time though.

Yes. I lost a lot of money through no fault of my own, and keep losing more smaller bits through crap decision-making/general cost of living/stupid lapses. Also my family have had a run of illnesses for months that have meant cancelled holidays, missing events and generally feeling cut off and crap round the house. Bah.

Chin up OP, brighter days ahead (surely?!)

I feel that way a lot!

Mine is not serious - I definitely mean mild bad luck. But we lost a lot of money in covid due to DH losing a job because of it, a LOT of money (all our savings then plunging into debt to pay our big mortgage), which has caused incredible stress. Dh got a new job in the summer and then a transfer to a new location, which we really want for our family - but we can’t seem to sell our flat and make it happen and lose the debt we accumulated (which the sale will help us do).

So I know it’s only mild bad luck. But that and a lot of other little paper cuts is making me feel like I’m just not getting my life properly together at the moment.

I keep making stupid little decisions too which don’t work out.

Thank you both! I hope your luck turns around soon too!

Yup, everything I do seems to get messed up.

Obviously world events are not helping.

Yes I feel like this a lot. We've had shit luck with so much and it just gets too much.
