Clearly you had some good foresight a year ago.In general, I agree with your sentiment that things will get worse, but I do disagree on general timelines.First, I cannot tell if you mean recession from a traditional standpoint (2 consecutive quarters of GDP decline), the current National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) definition (a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales) or a general "emotional" descriptor.
