Yes, I have felt this way for quite awhile now... & it is so that I'd almost forgotten about it - honestly - until I'd just read the title of your thread here! I'd say this "feeling," or intuition, whatever you'd want to call it. First began primarily in adulthood. And then it really heated up & began to cook once my 20's took off. Didn't really stop much at the start of my 30's but maybe did cool off just a bit? . . . I have felt a sort-of, 'predestined fate,' as it were~ for ever, it seems. And what I mean by that, is that, for all of the things I've done wrong in my life (that led to me getting here). There have been more than just a small number of them, that were not of my doing, or control, and therefore: fault. And it's always very bizarre, or strange things happening as well (like a professor going out of his way to thwart my final credits before matriculating to grad school, withholding midterm as car broke down on way in, ridiculed & mocked me when finally giving me "ONE HOUR!!!!!!!!!" to take exam, in the end, though he was so damn certain I was TRY-ING To hustle &/or "pull a fast one," on him - by getting more study time, I guess? Someone who was at or near the top of the chem class? Hardly, A-hole..." That set me back nearly a year, because of all I'd fought through & had to climb & pull my self back up in order just to get the opportunity to even feel as if I were on 'equal footing,' with the rest~ so I backslid mightily after that. BUT here's the "kicker," the temp. Dept. Head was HIS BEST FRIEND on the campus. Oh, yes? It was just a true 'Dear God?' moment for sure. And that's just one small ex. of them, there are, I'm afraid, if not many then a handful more just like this. And so it is as if, or as though - I have always known my Fate. That I will die by my own hand. And... it's not like I haven't tried. I had no internet in '08. I had no awareness to the reliability or failure rates of some certain methods, or ways of exiting. So yes! To answer your question: & the long-way, I guess~
