I think my evil eye bracelet is giving me bad luck
Hi, I’m 24F. Last December 14, 2025, I bought an evil eye bracelet along with my friends from a flea market in our city. From a few internet searches, I learned that it should be worn on the right wrist to release bad energy.
There weren’t any major life changes after a few weeks of wearing the bracelet. By January, however, I made the conscious decision to resign from my first job after only three months of working there. I hated my first job. Two weeks after starting, I was already crying and dreading going to work, and it only worsened after I got back from the holiday break. My stomach was always hurting, I was constantly anxious, and the job had no structure whatsoever. It was even sketchy on the legal side (it was a startup company), which made me even more scared of the responsibility. So I quit without any backup plans, but I wasn’t too worried about it. I was confident that another job would eventually come along.
February was fairly good. I was job searching, but I wasn’t too serious about it, and I wasn’t in a rush to immediately start working again. I wanted a few weeks to recuperate, at least. Then March rolled around, and my mom got hospitalized. Money has always been tight, and with her getting hospitalized, things became even more difficult. I already had debts to pay off, and when my mom got hospitalized, I had those debts on top of her hospital bills, which pushed me even deeper into debt.
When she got discharged from the hospital, our living situation became worse because of inflation, and we had to stop our small business because of my mom’s health. Not to mention, there are a lot of us in our household, some of whom are freeloaders who don’t contribute to water, electricity, or food expenses. Since my mom no longer has income from her small business and I’m currently unemployed, on top of the oil crisis and inflation (thanks, Trump), money basically comes and goes. But that was fine because I thought I was going to get a job soon. That’s what I thought, anyway. I mean, I have a degree, I graduated cum laude, and I come from a good university.
But now it’s May, and I still haven’t gotten a job offer. I’ve been job hunting, applying, and going to interviews, but I’ve had no luck. Most of the time, my resume doesn’t even get viewed or acknowledged. If it does get acknowledged and I get invited for an initial interview, I either don’t get callbacks, get rejected, or most often get ghosted. I’ve applied to over 70 jobs in the past three months, which is a lot considering I live in a small city, and still no luck. At this point, I’m at my wit’s end. The debts I mentioned? They’re never-ending, and they won’t get fixed until I get a job but I still haven’t been blessed with one.
Every time I get a sliver of hope, it gets crushed. I don’t think this sequence of events feels coincidental anymore. I’m a believer, and I dabble in spirituality and witchcraft. I own crystals, read tarot, and light incense. I have faith, which is why I bought this evil eye bracelet in the first place. But with how my life has been going these past few months, I’ve started debating whether I should just take it off and stash it away because it almost feels like it’s warding off every opportunity that comes my way.
Any advice?
