Does anyone else feel cursed?

Question - (4 February 2013) 8 Answers - (Newest, 4 February 2013)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I wonder if anybody has the same experience I do? It is very hard to find any info on this subject, and Im hoping someone might knows the right resources for me,

So I have this strong feeling, that I have been ''cursed'' or something like that. Something out of the ordinary. Something , what is clearly not my own doing. Not my fault..

I think that, because, I have an unjustifiable amount of bad luck, strange coincidences, unfixable,difficult

problems. I m not a negative person, by nature, also I was not very interested in any supernatural ideas before. But today, I feel, I really would benefit to hear from people who feels the same way I do. The mentioned phenomenon, is only effecting me in the last ten years. Before, it was a ''normal'' life I had.

Ups and downs, and so on , but never stuck in the down part permanently. It is so bad, that most people agree ,its unusual, yet they have no answers. I feel , there has to be some other people out there, who feels that way. Im looking forward to any explanations. Thanks

Sure, I've felt "cursed" before. Not in the literal sense, though. I know that no one actually put a curse on me. I think I was just born that way. My family is rather unfortunate as well. I do have good luck that comes in streaks, but only lasts a few weeks at most.

The most recent example I can give is I got hired on the spot for a job I really wanted, and my first day was amazing. I seemed to already be making friends, and even my supervisor went out of his way to talk to me. I was looking for new friends, too, because I had just moved to a new area. Seems like a whole lot of good luck, right? Then out of nowhere, my supervisor started acting really cold toward me, and whenever he would see me talking and laughing with someone, he would go right up to that person after I walked away, and say something to them. Pretty soon, I noticed a lot of my coworkers were avoiding me. I never did find out what his problem was, and I even tried to ask him about it the nicest way possible. He wouldn't give me any kind of an explanation at all. The whole thing was just weird, but things like this happen to me for no reason all the time.

Anyway, in your case, I would think back to 10 years ago, and see if you can't figure out the root of your bad luck. At least you can take some comfort in knowing you haven't always been this way. Did something major happen in your life back then, and things just haven't seemed the same since? If so, maybe you don't actually have bad luck at all, and it only seems that way because you're depressed.

oldbag agony auntHi

Normally when you get in this cycle it comes to an end. Some do have bad luck, like somebodys cursed them, but if you tend to be a half full type person, then maybe your mindset is set to expecting bad things now.

I have had times when I thought the world was out to get me, when everything goes wrong,losing ones you love, losing a job,divorce,friends letting you down. But eventually a new door opens and the sun does come out again.You count your blessings and all that stuff.

I think a chat to your doctor might help you,explain how your feeling.Something may have trigured these events thats buried in your past and changed your outlook

Did something happen to throw you off course around ten years ago? Maybe you had a relationship breakdown, or you lost a job, or someone close to you died, and you got into a rut which has now caused you to spiral into depression.

Dear OP,

I don't believe in curses. Even if there is a very small chance that many bad things happen to you in a row, there's still a chance, and it doesn't have to be karma or a curse or whatever.

Simple, plain bad luck.

The feeling that you're cursed probably came up because you feel helpless and like it's not your fault. That's probably correct. There are many things in live we can't control.

However, no matter if you are cursed or not, don't give up. Try to get back on your feet and make your live better. Look for professional help or the help of friends and family.

Not only bad wishes have power over us.

Love and hope are very powerful too. Remember that. Even if you were cursed, you are not doomed or powerless, there are many good forces and energies around you and all of us.

I feel I am unlucky I was crying last night because of it. I am so unlucky in love it is beyond a joke. I keep thinking if karma is real and what have I done. I did one bad thing but I was punished for that already. Apparently you make your own luck.
