Why is my life such a mess?
gpt
I'm sorry you feel like your life is a mess. Sometimes life can be really hard.
human
Don't I know it. I feel like things are spiraling out of control.
gpt
I can see how difficult it would be to feel that way.  Like a sense of no control.
human
Yes! You get it!  I feel like I have no control over anything in my life.
gpt
I completely understand how troubling it is to feel a lack of control over your life as if things are just happening to you instead of you actively participating. I'm sorry you're experiencing this. Life can be challenging at times.
