Being in control is an illusion regardless of one's mental health status imo. In the grand scheme of things I have little control of my fate, although I owe it to myself to always put forth my best effort to make the best of life's circumstances.

Ive been thinking... that the better we feel, the more of a chance we have to be in control of our lives since we will be able to take action in more situations.

I just took a run which makes me feel more in control.

🙃 💡 I don’t know why I asked you if you are bipolar I guess because you replied to the thread about it ... I think mania can be fun but can get one into trouble. There’s also hypomania as part of the condition. I was disgnosed many times with bipolar that’s the one that stood out the most to psychologists/pysciatrists. If you think u have it, live in Japan and drink the water which has lithium in it, and you’ll be fine 😉

Thanks there’s definitely a screw loose somewhere I saw a psychologist a few years ago she said just keep feeding the birds 🐦 of a morning ,that’s all I remember from that consultation 😂...enjoy your day hope it’s a calm one 🌤

I have zero control over my life..... as much as I would like to think I did have some.... life happens.....good and bad.

Ya know I'm not sure I want control..I know I'm kinda weird, hahaha!

Dump trucks of love, peace, light, joy & hugs for you!!!

I think I only have control at my job. I could somewhat control my health but I don't do anything to make it much better. I would say 25%.

Every time I think I have control, life pulls the rug out from under me. I don’t know why I bother to have ideas or make plans at all anymore.
