I feel like I had decent control on everything going on in my life but now it's all collapsing.

What the hell is going on and why can't I do anything about it?

Thinking we have tight control of life is dangerous. There's so much we're not able to be in control of, that we only ever control the minority of things. When things do go wrong, and that illusion is shattered, it can be very upsetting and confusing. Perhaps you now have options to control some of what has gone wrong, but if you don't, you don't.

@GlassDog: It's not even anything important. I'm just acting really weird.

@BlueMetalChick: Hmm, I'm not sure what it is, then. It might just be one of those inexplicable things that goes away as quickly as it came.

I know the feeling. Two weeks ago we decided I am not meant to get a teaching license. I have a BSE-major of Special Ed. I don't think I'd be happy as an aide-jealous. Now playing "What Do I Want To Be When I Grow Up?" My path changed a few times, but I truly felt this was my career.

@Eeyore122: It's like an upheaval.
Eeyore122 · 36-40, F
Yep. Took me 10yrs off and on @ two schools w/ two majors to earn my BSE. Had a few bad experiences, kinda lost myself and some needed skills such as organization and some patience. Your upheaval sounds different but any kind sucks till we end up in an ever better situation.

Hope you'll be ok . I know that feeling all too well

All things are transitory. You're going to feel differently before long. Just hang in there. How is school going?
What's wrong. You can PM.
@Elandra77: Does this involve your kidney issue?
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Elandra77: Thankfully not. I'm grateful for that.
@BlueMetalChick: Good! I was worried there for a bit.
How is your um.... how is that going?

@TwilitSona: [i]That's[/i] fine. My physical health is not in any danger. But all at once a bunch of weird shit is happening.
Damn I know that feeling 😩. I hope you regain control of all of this bs

@ECHO22: A bunch of weird random shit that shouldn't affect me much is causing me to act like a lunatic.
@BlueMetalChick: Take a break from it all for a an hour or so, clear your head, then get back to it

It will come to you. Stress blocks solution. Relax and just let life happen for awhile.

@BlueMetalChick: so am I. I screwed up most of my 20's. But eventually I learned to control my insanity
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@BTorn2: The problem is that nothing that's upsetting me even has anything to do with my own life. It's things changing that have no effect on me but I'm acting as if they do.

@BlueMetalChick: well if you want to vent I'm around

Life controls us although the opposite illusion is what we believe....

You're thinking too much about it and the more you care, the weaker you become.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@MethDozer: You're right. Dwelling on bad possibilities increases the chances that they'll occur.
