To me, a mirage of salvation from this mental jail-cell in its truest form is when I begin to feel in control at a time, place and state that once felt intractable
But that’s always temporary.

But you do know what control feels like. That’s a positive thing.
I guess i’m looking at the situation in a negative perspective
The notion that we have control over everything always is illusory, but no more so than the notion that we have no control over anything ever. A boss I once had, long ago, had the alcoholic’s creed on his wall, in which I found wisdom. Forgive me because I forever misquote it and am too lazy to look it up, but it contains the words:
“God give me the wisdom to change the things I can, to accept the things I cannot change, and the wisdom to know the difference. ”
It’s not an illusion that you can change some things within the scope of your ability and circumstance.
