This is probably nothing, but I really feel the past year has been insanely cursed for me.
- this time last year, my wife was having chronic gut problems
- also this time last year we had a cluster fly infestation
- my pet ferret died last march
- wife's dad had a heart attack, or 5 to be precise
- mouse problem in the house for 2 months
- mom threatened to commit suicide
- found out I have liver and gallbladder problems and my gut is basically broken too...
- once the mice were dealt with, I then got carpet beetles
- my wife broke her tooth while we visited my mom to help bring her back from the brink in VA.
- head back to Italy for her dad to fix the tooth, then 2 days before we leave (last thanksgiving), my dad died from a host of issues, but mostly copd and heart failure.
- madness In CO, fixing loads of shit at my dad's that suddenly just broke as we arrived. He flooded the house years ago, and of course when I get there, a ceiling falls in on the basement.
- fix most of the issues, come back to the UK today and my own house gets flooded from a burst water pipe.
So my health is weakening, my dad and my pet are dead, my wife's fam is worried constantly, I'm having to repair two locations simultaneously now, and I have no idea if there are still bugs hanging around. It really is starting to feel like some kinda curse is hovering over me with all the crap I'm having to shovel daily. Anyone else feeling like this?
Saying a prayer for you brother. This is the year everything changes.🙏
Sorry for your troubles, I pray things get better soon.
Raisins are the best bait ever. It's unreal.
Have you tired kimchi?
Also many swear by colostrum for gut issues.
Nope. I broke the generational curses on me and my family years ago.
I'm just waiting for society to get off it's collective ass and get it's shit straight. Hopefully before I decide to kick the bucket.
Keep your head up, fren. Keep the Faith, keep praying, keep moving forward.
You're being tested because you've awakened and aren't beholden to the old paradigm of fear based tactics meant to hold you back.
This will all recede with time. You just have to make sure you maintain as positive an outlook as you can.
It's not easy, but it is doable.
Yes.
The EVIL one has some powers in this world, to beset us. Health, mechanical, electronic systems, temptations to despair.
Entire plumbing system going out in farm house. Mice. Many other things breaking faster than we can fix them.
One day at a time, fren.
Yes, I've been saying this for a few years now as well. I can tell God is on the move and about to win every time I see bad things happening around me. Satan knows God is moving and trying desperately to cause as much destruction as possible
Sounds silly, but the fly infestation is concerning as it is often associated with demonic oppression. Beelzebub aka Lord of the flies. But have no fear and turn to God.
The only way to fight against that is spiritual.
Ephesians 6:10-18 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
Ask Jesus to come into your life and submit your will to Him. Turn from the sin in your life and allow Him to have His way. God bless you my friend.
Amen!!!
Also, ask God what you can learn from these trials. Trust him. He loves you!
I can help you with one - carnivore diet
Do NOT Call yourself cursed. You are a child of God, act like it! Decree and declare yourself a free man of God and don’t let anyone tell you different…including yourself. You’ve had stomach issues - it’s not your fault but if you want to feel better eat carnivore for 90 days. See homestead How, Zero Carb Life (1000+ videos on healing from eating carnivore. It also helps with depression. Many have stated it cleared it without any medication and in fact they quit their meds. The glycine in meat heals the gut. The nutrition can’t be compared. And veggies block nutrients from getting into the body. See a spinach leaf? Run the other way!
My condolences on the passing of your beloved father & pet.
I don’t know you and don’t know how much and how often you pray, read your Bible and witness to others, if you are even a Christian. It is my opinion that is what the Armor of God Q posts are encouraging. Put on the armor of God. How’s your armor?
I am a Buddhist and I have to keep my Buddhist practice consistent, or when l experience struggle in my life it can be overwhelming! I work on strengthening my faith, studying the major writings and attending meeting with others & sharing my faith with others. This quote from the writings helps me. “Bail the seawater of slander and disbelief out of the ship of your life, and solidify the embankments of your faith.”
There are many Christians here that can give you guidance in faith. Take advantage of this opportunity.
that old God (Yahweh) of Abraham Isaac and Jacob had very interesting things to say about Buddha. interestingly, the Elohim who carry Buddha possess a legal standing here on earth and wield considerable power an authority (which you engage). Your spiritual experiences are real, there's much more for you to learn. its interesting you note the whole armor, peek at eph 6:12. Alas, not many Christian communities are well trained in these areas.
Thank you for your kind words.
Wishing you good luck in the future.
I had a brother in law screw me out of a lot of money and seemed to be the start of a downward spiral in my life that lasted from late 2021 through 2024.
It was due to me being too nice and trusting ... I lent the loser a house ... we had a handshake agreement that he does the work needed to get it ready to sell and I basically didn't charge him much, if anything, in rent so long as he gets the crap that needed to be done finished (and it was mostly painting ... really simple shit ... and he did that for a living!).
You probably see where this is going ...
Without going into too many details that distract from your post, he turned what was supposed to be a six month stay into a 4 year welfare check I paid for. Year 4 was a real pisser in that he moved his brain damaged girlfriend (now wife) and her kid in with him (didn't know about this since the scumbag did it when his sister died ... my wife was a mess when that happened, obviously). I also found out he left the house via a Facebook post they made about buying a house (I paid for the down payment on that place from what I can tell ... never got a thank you).
Yes, I am well aware I handled the situation poorly and should have thrown the bastard out after a year, but he was family ... I'm sure some people would want to criticize my handling of the situation and point out I was in control the whole time ... I agree with you 100% :-).
Anyway, that happened in late 2021. From then through 2024, it seemed like I was hit with a nonstop barrage of misery (similar to what you are going through in many ways) that drove me to a breaking point. I've been through a lot in life and NEVER gave up. Around mid 2024, I did ... I started to give up. While I didn't do anything stupid, I never felt so lost. I even started to flake out at work ... and in the 25 years I have been doing what I do, that has never happened ... I've always been the go to guy when the shit's hitting the fan and the task is impossible :-).
In early 2025, I started to pray more. I always felt like God gave me enough skills to survive on this planet and that I don't want to waste His time knowing damn well I can get through this. That was stupid on my part. Even if you are a non-believer, just try it. It helps your brain process everything going on ... that helps calm you ... and that allows you to think more clearly without emotions getting in the way.
I FINALLY started feeling like myself in July of last year. I'm pretty much back to normal now :-). I also learned that I will NEVER make an agreement with anyone unless legal docs are in place as I thought my brother in law was a good man and wouldn't dream of doing what he did.
You will make it through this fren. Many of us are always here to help. So many of us have been through our own personal forms of hell. When I get depressed, I tend to forget that and think I'm the only one that's going through it. You are never alone though ... never.
I'm praying for you to heal both your health and your spirit. I don't know how bad your gut problem is but if you eat a slice or two of candied ginger root a day, it alleviates pain and sour stomach. It helps immediately.
2025 was a the worst one on record for me personally, health stuff and finances. Its been bottoming out for a while so i'm very optimistic things will turn up i really need it and would welcome it!
Yeah, it does get overwhelming sometimes. We lost a dog last year. She had seizures and just never recovered from the last one. Wife has been fighting kidney stones for over a year now. I got shingles. Twice! Truck cost me $11k last year. But to replace it would be over $100k. So I got away cheap there. It all hits at once sometimes. Stay strong. Stay prayered up. We'll get through it if we all just pray for each other, daily. God knows what my brothers and sisters need. So I just pray God's will for everyone here. God Bless you!
The decision of how to feel about something is up to you. Don't let it inside to sour your heart.
Nobody has that particular run of events, and it seems very unpleasant. I do sympathize. Remember --- "Rejoice not against me O my enemies. Though I fall, I will rise!" That's Micah 7:8.
I'll pray for you and your family to get back up, stronger than before. 🙏
God Bless. Here is a prayer to lift all curses

Sometimes owning a home seems like digging your own grave, and that gets more true with every year you are in it since both it and you are aging.
Please scroll down for my comment. Left a comment not even a minute ago And it is already way down on the list! Why I don’t know. If someone could explain it to me that would be helpful.
Yep, and it seems as I approach a breakthrough on one front, 3 more fires break out in other areas of my life.
Ive been feeling like the devil is big mad and fighting like hell to keep me from advancing because he knows my goals are harmful to him
One issue at a time is the only way to tackle it.
This might help your liver and gallbladder issues, burdock root: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ANnDN1TR9gs&pp=ygUHQnVyZG9jaw%3D%3D
Also colostrum for gut issues.
Wishing you a brighter future.
Greetings brother, uplifted prayers for you and yours, have faith, things will get better, in due time. Have a read at James 5:11 in the New Testament. Peace.
In addition to prayer (which, many have mentioned) -- I'm going to suggest you listen to some Christian music in your home. It will uplift your spirit.
This is one of the pieces I listen to whenever I feel overwhelmed by stressful events. It always helps me.
