Have you ever felt like things were out of control, like you...?

Have you ever felt like things were out of control, like you have absolutely no say in what happens in your life? Almost as if everything was just whizzing past by you and it felt like things were happening too fast that you barely even got the chance to grasp onto what was going on?
This just happened to me recently. It was one of the weirdest feelings ever because I usually never felt this way. Maybe I thought that some things happened rather quickly, but it never really bothered me. But what I felt like recently was unlike anything I'd ever experienced before. It was as though everything just happened in a snap and I felt like I played no part in it, but instead, I'm watching the events in my life from the sidelines. It's as though I'm part of it still, yet I'm not really there. Do you guys know what I mean? I know it sounds a little confusing but it's a bit difficult for me to explain.
If you guys have ever felt anything like this, how did you deal with it? What happened? Tell me more about it and your opinions on this.

I've been feeling like that lately. I feel just like how you described; like everything is just whizzing past me, and it's something that I can't control, so I completely know what you mean. The way that I'm currently dealing with this, is I try to calm myself down. I try to think rationally and try to convince myself that I do have control of a lot of things that are happening and that I'm just letting it get to me. I just do a lot of convincing myself mostly, because it's really an emotional/psychological thing. I know it'll probably take some more time before I go back to 'normal' but it's worth it if it works. Hopefully that will work for you.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will give it a shot and let you know how it goes. I never thought about trying to convince myself that everything was just a feeling and that I really do have control. Thank you very much =]

Well, I felt somewhat like that just before I left my earlier job.I felt my life was being run by my boss and clients 24 hours a day and I had no control over my daily routine.The grind was getting on to me.I did not get much free time and even my decisions were being made for me taking me and my presence for granted.Finally I had enough and quit.Now I am much happier working for myself.

Ah, I see how you feel. We all go through different situations in which we feel like we've lost control of what happens in our lives, especially with a lot of things going on. Well, I thank you for sharing your experience and best of luck working for yourself =]
