One reason is that I was really in so much immediate trouble that I didn't have a moment to think or to step back and react to what was happening to me from an observing/judging perspective, but only could act to take action or think how to improve my external situation, and that was a perpetual state for 2 weeks roughly, and the second reason is because I am stopping thinking like that. However, I was upset a lot, just as nasty surprises kept happening and I "fell apart" a lot as a result.
