There was a 3 year period of my life where almost every tragedy you could think of happened weekly. It got to a comical degree of stupid
This is a friend on mines life right now. I’m almost scared to pick up the phone when she calls. She’s always had an interesting life, it’s just crazy levels now.
That happened to me a few years ago, just tragedy after tragedy after tragedy. One day toward the end of this horrible run, I called my best friend to remind them of something random, like "remember it's X's birthday this weekend" or something. Friend wasn't home, her mom said she'd have Friend call me back. No worries.
Anyway, my friend gets home, and her mom is in the dining room having tea with a neighbor. Mom says, "Oh, hey, Aramis called, I told 'em you'd call back," and the neighbor immediately exclaimed, "Oh my God, what's happened to that poor person now?!?!"
this feels like my wifes medical things. there is so many and they keep coming to the point its just hard to talk about. I mean like its just hard to remember all the various things.
Are we married?
I'm about to start therapy (again) for pretty much the same reason... I joke that I don't have good luck nor bad luck, just crazy luck. Only a few people closest to me truly know how wild it's been the past 5 years? 7 years? I honestly lose track sometimes
Last time I went to therapy in 2021, I gave them a summary of the most recent traumas and completely forgot to tell them my sister had recently died. The next session, I mentioned it to them and their face... couldn't entirely hide their shock. It was at least validating though
Oh, I know the feeling, but only for a few days. That shit's so stupid, how everything that could go wrong, goes wrong.
