You may be allowing someone else to make decisions for you, like what to wear, where to go, how to behave, what career to choose, where to work, who to associate with, etc. If you don’t like what someone else is imposing on you, or if you are just letting things roll, you should wake up and take the wheel on your own hands. You know for yourself what you like and what works best for you, so if you don’t live your life how you want it, no one is going to live it for you. If you feel you are falling apart, that is because you are not doing what fulfills you. You have to impose your own terms upon your life.
