Run of bad luck that’s not stopping

[Mollypolly2610]

Is there anything I can do to stop this, it’s just going on and on. Every day there’s something else going wrong. I have an evil eye but it’s not working!!

I'm going to presume because of the section you've chosen to put this thread that you believe there are other 'forces' at play.

Whilst I do not wish to denigrate that. Would it be an idea to consider in a pragmatic sense why whatever has happened / is happening has happened?

Did you leave the house late and the train was delayed anyway so therefore arrived at work late and flustered. At some point during the day did the printer go down meaning you couldn't print a report you needed for a presentation... that sort of thing? As there is a practical explanation for most things. I'm not really into believing a 'higher being' is in control but that's me. However I will say it would go much further in helping you to rationalise whatever is going on that it would be to believe it was all entirely out of your control / reaction to the situation.

not sure it will stop it but if you belong to a faith, could you go to your place of worship, center yourself, clear your mind, and focus on guidance on how to move forward with grace and dignity?

It’s personal things aimed at me. Someone hacked my Facebook and sent out messages to all my contacts, I have problems with Scottish power that seemingly cannot be resolved although I spend so much time each day phoning and texting them which is really stressing me out to the point that I can’t sleep, my back seized up and I need an mri, my crown and bridge have fell out, there’s other small things. I had an awful day driving the other day when I usually have none, I got scared. I feel as if there is a cloud hanging over me. I give money to charity but don’t know what else I can do to get through this. Any help would be appreciated.

I think when things happen all at once it can make you feel powerless. In all honesty I don't think anything woo will help you.

It's about how you perceive or frame things. I know people who have very poor health, have lost loved ones and are still pragmatic and resilient and others lose their heads over minor things. Your own positive mental attitude will benefit you more than crystals, or evil eyes. Mindfulness and meditation are your pals.

take what is in your control and resolve those small things (book the dental repair work).
think positive thoughts on the back issues and mri results.

I give money to charity but don’t know what else I can do to get through this.

I think you need to get this idea out of your head; the world is an inherently an unfair place. Society is structurally imbalanced.

It sounds like it's all falling down. So tackle things one step at a time. So put up a FB status explaining to your friends that you were hacked.

Write to Scottish Power and express to them that you'll have to go through the Ombudsman. Keep things in writing so that if things escalate it's not a case of a phone conversation. And if you speak with them note down the date/time and name of the individual you spoke with.

Speak with GP about soonest arrangement for an MRI and explain your symptoms as they are when doing so.

A shit day driving happens to the best of us. Don't get terrified. Keep driving. You even said you usually have none so what happened is the exception - not the rule.

You don't have a 'dark cloud' hanging over you. It's a shitty time. Resilience here is key... not hoping a 'higher being' will help out because you contributed to charity.

Maybe the universe is telling you to take more control of your life. Push back.

I think we can often get stuck in a rut of only seeing bad things that are happening. Maybe write a list of good things to balance the bad? Hope things improve soon.

Scottish Power are known to be useless and shit. Maybe join an angry customers group? Your teeth may be falling out cos you are grinding them in stress at night, perhaps look into a mouth guard. And everything, good, bad, or just strange, can come in clusters.

But, taking some sort of ritual action can let you reset yourself and start anew with optimism that will get you through stuff. Burning hated things is good. Make an effigy out of your Scottish Power bills, burn it and use it to curse and change your fate. It will be cathartic if nothing else.

Also, hope things get better anyway soon!

Thank you all for your positive replies. I will start to sort things out and hope things get better!

I had s huge run of things happen to me over a period of 18 months. Mum died, divorce, diagnosed with cancer, a major operation, a complaint against me at work that led to issues with my professional body (all found to be unjustfied but still...) I am hoping it is done now.

I had quite a run of bad luck last year.

Rogue trader
Court action
Baby needing operation
Me going through tests in preparation for operation
A flood at home that caused £14k worth of damage

Etc etc

But... It’s just bad luck. It soon teens around.

With each bit of bad luck, as upsetting, stressful and unfair it feels, I just had to breathe and believe that this too shall pass and that my run of good luck will be around the corner soon enough.

Having a positive mind set really can help positive things to happen.

As others have said, perspective.
Practice gratitude.
I have power supplying my home, electricity and water.
I live in a place where all i have to do is book an appoibtment and i can access dental work.
I have a car to get me from A to B.

What else can you be grateful for?

Thanks for all the advice, I made up my mind to be more positive and am hoping things will get better. This too shall pass.

Popping back to ask if things did improve. I'm now having a similar run of bad luck, and trying to keep my spirits up.

Hope it worked out for you

Your not the only one
