“This always happens to me” and “What can I do next?” describe the same problem. Only one comes with a door.

Both sentences describe the same bad afternoon, but they point in opposite directions. Always happens closes the case and makes you the kind of person things happen to. What can I do next keeps the situation open, and open is where any move at all becomes possible. The facts stay the same; what you can do with them does not.

When the closed version shows up this week, notice it and ask the other question straight after. Not to feel better, just to find one thing you can actually try.
