Control is an old friend of mine which is thankfully now hanging around a little less but we were close for a long time. Once upon a time, I tried to control E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G! It happened in two phases. In the run up to burnout it was people, circumstances and the future. Then whilst on the self-development hamster wheel it was my thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It was exhausting, laden with judgement and like a 24/7 game of wack-a-mole! Perhaps you can relate.
If you are trying to control like I was it is feeding that feeling of overwhelm but it doesn't have to be that way. You can split up with control as soon as you are ready.
