Stranger to myself

I don't know who I am anymore. I feel like a shell. I'm tired of getting my feelings hurt. I'm tired of working. I'm just tired

@greenBike9982 I'm sorry you are feeling that way. I have felt that way too and I know how hard it is. It's good that you're here though. It shows that you haven't given up 💜

I am sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. We all have been through this somewhere in our lives . It's important to get some rest and not overcharge ourselves, sometimes slowing down and refecting is what we actually need. You can get through this don't worry ! You're being true to yourself and you're acknowledging your emotions and that's great ! If this feeling stays with you for some time maybe you should consider reflecting on what aspects of your life makes you unhappy and feeling down

I think this is kind of how I am feeling too. I feel like I don't know who I am anymore. I don't recognize my reactions to things anymore. I don't even understand. I know I have depression and a few other issues. I think we all kind of get a bingo card as we get older to check off new things and new issues.

I feel the same way I’ve tried so many different hobby’s and things to do and tried to be friends with so many different people that I don’t know who I really am anymore and I still have no one. I never meant to change myself like this everything is so draining.

@greenBike9982 I feel the same way. I feel like I am a completely different person from who I should be. And it doesn't’ help when you have your family criticizing your every move. In soccer I can’t enjoy the game. My Dad always criticizes my moves and doesn’t focus on the positives. It’s like climbing a hill I can’t reach the top of because he wants me to (started playing because if I could be good enough, I could get a scholarship and spend less money at college). My work is never good enough. He compares me to how I was when I was younger. Saying I was better then. That only makes me more depressed. And my brother is an emotional abuser. He demeans every single thing I do. My friends have abandoned me twice. And my mom’s not even in the picture. She’s an emotionally absent parent.


This all makes me feel like I shouldn’t be who I am right now. Like I don’t deserve a good life until I can revert to how I was before then. But I was younger. My mind was simpler. You can’t revert to a younger form of self. And I certainly can’t adopt the same view on life I had when I was 10.

A book I just listened to had a comment from one person to someone that was grieving that said “I wish I could give you a suitcase full of rest” I feel like that’s what I need. Feeling like this is exhausting
