yes! i actually disliked being a child quite a lot for that very reason. i hated the lack of agency.

and i think the discomfort i am finding in my life right now is that historical feeling - lack of choice. however, no matter how bad things get, and they do get bad, there are lots of things i have power over that i didn't as a kid - like i have a dog, i have the heating on when i want. this morning i woke up with a migraine and cystitis. i medicated what i could, bathed when i felt ready, and i will deal with my day as i see fit. sure, it would be nice to have help, but when that help arrives it will be in the shape of my boyfriend who is kind and supportive. can't be bad!
