Sounds like an exceptional run of bad luck. Hope you get a break soon!

Sounds like that old hillbilly song: "If it wasn't for the bad luck,
I'd have no luck at all"

I think it originally came from an old Irish or Gaelic saying.

Nah, it was an excellent song from the blues/rock band Cream.

By booker t. jones and william bell
Lyrics:

Born under a bad sign.
I've been down since I began to crawl.
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all.

Bad luck and troubles my only friend.
I've been down ever since I was ten.

Chorus

You know, wine and women is all I crave.
A big bad woman's gonna carry me to my grave.

Chorus

First verse

Born under a bad sign.
I've been down since I began to crawl.
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck.
If it wasn't for real bad luck,
I wouldnt have no luck at all.

Born under a bad sign.
Born under a bad sign.
