It’s a quiet evening after a pretty day, it’s a brand new year, I’ve got work, I’ve sent all the bills on time, I’m not under indictment for anything and it looks like the NFL playoffs will include at least a couple of teams I give a damn about. So I’m at a loss to explain why I have this horrible feeling that something awful is about to happen.
You Doper folk know everything worth knowing, so what is it? What am I overlooking?
I usually get that feeling when I’m PMSing. So, maybe you’re getting your period?
Impending Zombie Apocalypse? New boss at work? New zombie boss at the office??
Maybe you haven’t received your Forms yet.
Go to the local Public Library. They usually have copies of all the relevant Forms.
Then at least your dread won’t be Formless.
Speaking as a 55-year-old guy, if that’s the case then I do have something to worry about. But then, I guess it means I’m not pregnant, so there’s that.
Try drinking a glass of cranberry juice, then- should clear it right up. 
Seriously, maybe it’s just a minor case of SAD or post-holiday letdown. Get some extra sleep, eat some comfort food like macaroni and cheese or mashed potatoes, and if it doesn’t go away in two weeks or less, see your doctor.
SEE MY DOCTOR?!
Oh, no; I knew there was something very wrong. . .
I’m just saying, it could be a symptom of depression. More likely if it doesn’t go away soon.
Well, no; while there are perhaps a few zombies around the office, they’re pretty much the same ones we’ve always had.
If it doesn’t subside in 4 hours, get professional help.
I had this feeling just yesterday, out of the blue. I just had this weird “premonition” that something horrible was going to happen this year. For me, I think it’s because there are a lot of big, good-but-stressful things that are going to take place soon, so I’m happy but nervous. Do you have any big life events that you’re planning?
It means you are about to die.
Er, I’m thinking about buying a car in the spring, but that’s about it.
Nosense. I feel perfec
Oh no! He fell right on the “submit reply” button!
If you want you gormless dead cured (or possibly made much, much worse), I have a solution.
tly fine, except for this weird fugue state I fall into every once in a while.
It happens to me sometimes. If you are able to step back and rationally consider it (which I think you are doing) it’ll probably go away pretty soon. I just chalk it up to “a weird thing that happens sometimes” and try not to worry about it.
It may take 20 or 30 years.
The doom … it impends … I know what you mean though, like you’ve forgotten to do something important. Call someone, it might jog your memory.
