I can control some things. And I can’t control other things.

Pretty profound, right?

I absolutely agree with @77nick77
I control my physical health but not my mental health.

Some do, some don’t. I have perfectly fine control I think, over the things I can assert some control over.

I have very little control when I’m on a low dose or not taking my meds.

Nope. No sense of it whatsoever, regardless of whether or not I actually have any.

I have delusional disorder but truth be told the effects are pretty similar and in these matters of mental illness you never know… that said, when I was through the hardest stages of my delusions, I felt very little control. I do think, however, that you can have control over your life, at least in my case.

Medication and therapy had helped me regain control and focus, and I believe that in the future, as my medication decreases and my mind keeps stable, I will have much more control. Then again, it may vary from person to person.

My range of control varies from day to day, really. Some days, I’m really good about keeping myself in check, and others, I just let control fly out the window and bad things happen.

Off of meds, I have no control. On the right meds, I have full and total control.

my hand eye coordination is quick and accurate… this is control… I know I can eat a whole pizza but don’t…control… I know meds keep me from losing control so I control it by taking the meds…that’s double control… new high score… please make your question more vague next time…
