“My life is always one crisis after another”
What could be going on
Crisis follows them: Crisis following you everywhere fits; check what part you play in each one starting.
Hypomanic (manic) character: Constant activity that keeps low mood away fits; check how a calm week actually feels.
Drama triangle (persecutor, victim, rescuer): Fits if you keep landing as victim, rescuer or persecutor; check which role you start in.
Psychological games (Berne): Repeated sequences ending in the same bad feeling fit; check whether the endings are predictable.
ADHD in adults: Impulsive choices and disorganisation could keep creating crises; check lifelong attention patterns.
Complex PTSD: Chaos can feel familiar after long trauma, calm feels unsafe; check your history.
Questions to carry
- Looking at the last crisis, what was happening in the calm days before it began?
- When things are calm, what do I feel, and what do I find myself doing?
