Dealing with transitions and internal shifts.
So a few months ago, I went through intense stress and anxiety. And ever since then, I haven’t been feeling like myself. I’ve been feeling disconnected, even from my own hobbies and comforts. It feels incredibly disorienting, like I’m losing my spark of my sense of self and I’m just floating adrift. :( And it turns out, I’m going through a transition, but I’m scared I’ll come out unrecognizable or dull on the other side. I know we all go through shifts differently, so there’s no concrete answer for how things will land, but I’m just looking for advice, reassurance, or guidance on how to navigate transitions. I feel really overwhelmed and scared.

HI there
Big life events and changes totally can feel disorientating, overwhelming and frightening.
Is it a medical transition you are going through? If it is, then I'd definitely suggest talking to your doctor about feeling overwhelmed. They would be the best placed to give the right help.
You are worried about being dull? What does dull mean to you? It sounds like you might be scared of being rejected for being you. This fear can lead us into trying to change ourselves into what we think other people expect. But this can mean we never experience peace. Good friends want to get to know the real unique you. Do you value your unique qualities? What do you consider your unique qualities? What would your friends say you should be proud of?
I hope you are feeling a bit less overwhelmed. You are important. Take care of yourself.
What sort of transitions? Change is scary, can be painful, and also can level you up. Everyone handles change differently. How major is this in your life. Is this healthy for you?
