Had one week in June where three clients paid early on the same Tuesday, made my whole month feel like a fluke.
I sat there refreshing my bank app like five times because $2,400 hit all at once and I was sure something was wrong, has anyone else had a random perfect week that made you nervous instead of happy?

Saw a post online about how getting money when you don't expect it can actually spike anxiety instead of relief, and that's exactly how I felt when my tax return hit on a random Wednesday last year. I stared at my phone for like ten minutes thinking it was a scam or a glitch lmao. Every other deposit in my life shows up late or wrong, so when something actually works out perfectly it feels like the universe is setting me up for a joke later. Honestly made me double check all my account settings and even call the bank to make sure nobody hacked me.

That sudden windfall panic is just your brain's defense mechanism (like a reflex you never asked for).

Right? When everything in life is usually a hassle, a smooth transaction just feels like a trap.
