I am like a chicken with its head cut off
Alternately, it could be "I am like a chicken without a head," but I believe the expression "I am like a chicken with its head cut off" is more accurate.

I am like a headless chiken.
English uses the expression"headless chicken" e.g. running around like a headless chicken". This means someone does things without thinking and quickly.
This also means when someone, because of some external factor has lost aim in ones life and can not focus and steer ones life. Basically it means aimless and restless together.
