SCRIPT CHECK · 60 SECONDS
Five quick questions show how often it appears, how believable it feels, and what it makes you avoid. You’ll get one private next step.
This is not a diagnosis and there is no pass or fail. It measures the current frequency, credibility, and behavioral cost of “Something bad is definitely coming, I can feel it”, including the private rule underneath it: If something bad isn't visible yet, I'm just too slow to see it.

QUIET
“Something bad is definitely coming, I can feel it” appears, but it rarely gets the final say. Keep this line available for higher-pressure moments: “This certainty feels like wisdom, but it's a habit I inherited. I can notice it and choose not to act on every forecast.”

“Something bad is definitely coming, I can feel it” wins some small decisions before you catch it. Your useful interruption is: “When the threat-scanner fires, I can check: is this real right now, or is this what I learned to expect?”

Begin with one reversible receipt: Before opening work communication tomorrow, write down one true thing that happened this week that was different from your forecast. Notice how often your predictions miss. Stay with the mismatch for two minutes.
