Bad Luck, Cursed, or Just Confirmation Bias?

[de_omnibus_dubitandem]

First, I am so happy to have found this website again after being gone for so long. My computer had to be factory reset, and I could not for the life of me remember its name.

For context, I have had quite a bad rash of unfortunate circumstances within the last month. I hurt my foot and had to be out of work, constantly feeling down/foggy, and had my identity stolen earlier this week. These are the main things, though I also have had many minor issues.

My question is, how do you determine whether you are simply having a rough time, or if there are serious subconscious/metaphysical issues at hand?

I understand there is a broad range of thoughts on topics like this, so I would love to hear everyone's thoughts.

If this would be more appropriately asked in psychology, please let me know.

Divine it.

Nothing else comes to my mind I have to say. Maybe have a strong protection ritual that goes above and beyond just in case for rainy days like these? I finished the 33 day long Master Protection Ritual, and most of time things have been a smooth sailing for me.

Great suggestion! I'll be sure to look into protection rituals. I think my main hesitation with divining is having preconceived notions that could sway results disproportionately.

Suppose you could make someone else read for you in that case, you wouldn't tell them anything about yourself and what you are currently going through so there wouldn't be a frontload.

But then the issue arises if the reader can be trusted at all yeah just easier to pick up a defensive ritual and go with.

A couple of months ago someone had the same question. Maybe these responses are helpful:

Getting lots of injuries lately. Am i cursed?

It started with a fractured toe. Then I got covid, then I was in a traffic accident and fractured my arm bone. Now just came from emergency room from a bleeding head injury. All within a couple of weeks. I want to know wtaf is going on with me. Am I cursed? Does someone want me dead? Bad karma?
