Honestly,
I feel like I have no control over any aspect of my life.
I'm in my mid-30's. Is it normal to go through a phase like this?

That depends on who you think has control of your life...
Finances?
Spouse?
Parents?
Kids? No wait, they do control your life...lol

You're too young to be going through a mid life crisis. That normally doesn't start until when you're in your 40's somewhere. You have to take some time to yourself and think what is going on around you that you have no control over your life. In all actuality you can regain control over your life, you feel that way because you're not doing anything to stop this force from controlling you. Get back on your feet and take back what is rightfully yours.

It sounds like you may be a bit depressed, and that can often cause one to feel like they're losing control of their life. It can often cause one to feel lazy, unmotivated, lack of goals, etc.
When I started feeling like that I joined a gym and started working out every day. It helped me physically, because I had more energy and felt better, and it helped me mentally because I started liking the way I was looking with less pounds...and therefore I started paying more attention to what I was eating.
I am a firm believer that it all ties together...exercise, good health, good diet, good attitude.
As far as your career, if that's one of your issues, and you are still young, you may want to ask yourself what you enjoy doing as far as working is concerned, and maybe consider taking some classes at a local college. I did that also to better my skills.
I do wish you the best, and I do hope this is just a phase for you.

It is just a passing phase you are going through. All of us are going through it. I am in my 30s too and I feel the same way too. No matter how much you attain in life, it is as if we have not done enough. I would suggest that try and find some peace of mind,everything will fall in place on its own once you are at peace with yourself.
Try meditation and try to be happy always no matter what your situation is.

I go thru this every day of my life. Depending on people sucks. Let's just be honest. So to take control.. Hmm... go back to school. Education is the best way to rise above, have greater income, and learn more. Also, do what you love.. whether that means, quit your job and pursue your dream job. (if you can financially afford it) Make a change. Be strong. You've already taken a step by asking this question.. Good Luck!

I don't really know either. I am also in my mid 30's and I don't feel like I have control or know where I am going. I do like my job but the pay sucks. I have kids but they mostly don't listen to me. I am married but I feel alone. I would like to have friends to hang out with but I don't have the time or energy to do so. I would love to go places or get new things but it cost to much money that I don't have. So, all I do is get up, go to work, come home to a dirty house because no one wants to help out and go to bed. That's my life. Sorry I cant help you out but maybe you can see others relate with you.

Yes it is
But if you would like to feel better make a short list of a few aspects of your life that you think are out of control .
then work on the ones you think you can gain control of easly . as you feel better work on more
The first step to solving any personal problem is admiting there is one .
you have already done that so your on your way already and you didnt even know it!!!! ..good luck!
