Things are getting out of hand.

3$\begingroup$ Yes, but this is a rebus, they're usually not supposed to be taken that literally. $\endgroup$– S. M.Dec 4, 2018 at 17:46
While I feel @S. M.'s answer is the best depiction I could think of currently, the bounty suggests this is not the desired answer... It would be nice to get a solid response to their answer though.
Until then, I guess I'll try a couple of ideas as well:
Losing my grip on things
or
Things are growing out of hand
or
Things are getting out of control
or
Letting go of things
I'll throw in my guess
Letting things get out of hand
Which
uses the full word "things" in a syntactically and semantically correct way (I think)
Some ideas...
If "What does this rebus say about life?", then
A double-meaning for "The best things in life are free."
If "Who does this rebus say is the boss?", then
I run things around here.
If "What famous book does this rebus represent?", then
Things Fall Apart ~ novel by Chinua Achebe
If "Should I say something, or not?", then
Some things are better left unsaid. ("Things" are literally going away from one's consciousness.)
If "Should I act on these desires?", then
Some things are best left to memories.
~ Bez
If, "How can I ever achieve great things?", then
Great things are done by a series of small things brought together. ("Things" assembling themselves in one's hand.)
~ Vincent Van Gogh
I think I could go on all day with this, but I won't.
