YOU are clearly not doing well in terms of 'directing' YOUR life, in that sense one might say that YOU are not 'in control' of YOUR self.

From Ch.6 of The Bhagavad Gita: "For the sage who seeks the heights of spiritual meditation, practice is the only method, and when he has attained them, he must maintain himself there by continual self-control. ... Let him seek liberation by the help of his Highest Self, and let him never disgrace his own Self. For that Self is his only friend; yet it may also be his enemy. To him who has conquered his lower nature by Its help, the Self is a friend, but to him who has not done so, It is an enemy."

Wishing you the very best Ahriman. Don't give up 'seeking'.
