I've had very similar experiences, and they usually happen during periods of high stress... I think you should try to relax more, try breathing exercises and think positive... moving is very high on the index of life stressors. Good luck.
... and take a look a this:
This is a term that designates disorientation in time in which a person feels that he has been to an unknown place before, or has previously experienced a situation, or met a person before. Déjà vu is an unexpected sensation of familiarity that applies to events, experiences, sensory impressions, dreams, thoughts, statements, desires, emotions, dreams, visits, the act of reading, the state of knowing, and, in general, the circumstances of living. The term is French for "already seen," and was first used to give a description to such experiences in 1876 by E. Letter Boirac, who called it "le sensation du déjà vu." In 1896, F. L. Arnaud introduced it to science. There is no adequate English equivalent for the term "déjà vu."
The sensation of déjà vu has been found to be a common psychological experience. According to a poll conducted in 1986 by the National Opinion Research Council of the University of Chicago, 67 percent of Americans reported instances of déjà vu, up from 58 percent in 1973. In other studies the phenomenon has been reported experienced more among women than men, and more among younger people than older people.
There is a wide variance in theories explaining déjà vu. Some psychologists refer to it as "double cerebration." As early as 1884, theories were advanced suggesting that one hemisphere of the brain received information a split second earlier that the other half. In 1895, the English psychical researcher Frederic W. H. Myers theorized that the subconscious mind registered information sooner than the conscious mind. The speculation of a biological process for déjà vu, if there is any, has not been proven.
Those believing in reincarnation theorize that déjà vu is caused by fragments of past-life memories being jarred to the surface of the mind by familiar surroundings or people. Others theorize that the phenomenon is caused by astral projection, or out-of-body experiences (OBEs), where it is possible that individuals have visited places while in their astral bodies during sleep. The sensation may be also connected to the fulfillment of a condition as seen or felt in a premonition. Other possible explanations are clairvoyance and telepathy.
Others say déjà vu is a product of the collective unconscious as theorized by psychiatrist Carl G. Jung. They speculate that déjà vu occurs when one draws on the collective memories of humankind. Jung himself had an intense déjà vu experience during his first trip to Africa. While looking out a train window he felt as if he was returning to the land of his youth of five thousand years earlier. He described it in Memories, Dreams, Reflections (60) as "recognition of immemorially known."
However, many researchers are cautious when dealing with instances of déjà vu because of the chance the person who experienced the sensation may have read or seen something that is now in his unconsciousness that triggers the impression. The most reliable subjects are young children.

Way back when I was about 11 or 12 years old, I used to get deja vu pretty often. I don't know why or what causes this, but it hardly ever happens anymore. File it under one more thing that can't be explained.

There are only two possibilities here...
A) You are delusional (mentally ill)
or B) You genuinely are developing a psychic ability called precognition (you know whats going to happen before it happens) If you really have this gift I would consider a career in Las Vegas if I were you.

I can't fully explain why it is happening but scientists call this pre-cognition...it means you know something is going to happen before it does or you can sense something is going to happen.
Or it could be that you know your friends and family well though, too.
