No you aren't alone, happens a lot to me and that's usually when I feel like I've lost my mind! I'm looking for solutions...why does it feel like it all sneaks up on me then BAM, I get crushed!

I get the same kind of experience. Sometimes, I think there is a reason that i just haven't figured out. Other times... seems to be my blood sugar (gets worse when i'm hungry).

But other times... don't know, just figure it's my brain chemistry out of whack. Then again, I have schizo-affective disorder ... which is a bit like having schizophrenia and bipolar at once!

Because some people think that when nothing is going on that there is some kind of conspiracy happening in secret. Perhaps it is paranoia on some people's part.

Nothing happening is not wrong or sinister...it's just lack of action. People get locked into a certain perspective that's all.

Confirmation bias. We look for evidence to confirm our conclusions rather looking for evidence that disputes our beliefs.

Very true osteoron...if you look hard enough for something you WILL find it. Unfortunately at the same time you won't be able to see anything else that surrounds it.

It's called "having the blinkers on"

Well, it could be due a shift in consciousness and awareness. When everything is going fine and well, I think is is human nature to tune out the negative in life. Then there are times when, for whatever reason, we become aware of things in life that were previously tuned out. Countless numbers of children living in horrible conditions, dying in huge numbers from starvation and disease. People in undeveloped countries dying in huge numbers from AIDS. People who are homeless in the wealthiest country in the world (the USA) who are largely ignored. Maybe not "everything is wrong." But there is ALOT that is wrong.
