identitycrisis

I've been told a lot that I have great insight and self-awareness, and yet today I realized that I don't really know who I am. I used to define myself with adjectives that just describe a diagnosis, and dream of a certain career that said diagnosis cost me. Then I defined myself as "The disabled girl whose life fell apart." I don't know who else I am, but there has to be more, right? #Disability #Neurodiversity #identitycrisis

Looking for people who have an interest in listening/are the natural caregiver type. I live with schizoaffective disorder and osdd, among other things. Between disorders, i find myself in a child like identity quite often. It’s nothing fetishy, just dissociative. It would be really comforting to have someone chat with me in a nurturing way. I know I’m a stranger, but since my reality is false I can adapt to scenarios quickly. What I mean is it won’t be weird or unrealistic for me. Whether I’m childlike or not, I’m in desperate need of conversation. If you’d rather talk maturely I’m capable of that too. So feel free to DM. This is just an open invitation, nothing serious or weird! I’ll try to listen if you need also.

i feel like i'm not myself anymore. usually it's good but now it feels like i've fell deep into something that i don't even know. i am more awkward to interact with people now and i can't help but feel very empty. though i know it's my own fault that i distant myself from everyone.
i hate this feeling because there are no words to describe it.

sometimes i regret myself to be away from everyone, but sometimes i have to bcs it's too much for me. but then everything will be different and i'll just be there, like an alien; don't know where i stand, where i fit or even who i am. i'd love to be with everyone, but then i'll get too attached and everything is just overwhelming that it makes me go away for awhile. and once i'm back, everyone is already gone..

I was diagnosed BiPolar 3 years ago at age 50. The diagnosis came about after a few years of uncharacteristic behavior which included 2 affairs the second one which destroyed my 27 year marriage to my high school sweetheart. We are both still heartbroken. During all of the chaos it seemed like my life was out of control. O lost my job, my marriage, my friends, my home and starting living with my parents. My mom died unexpectedly adding to the depression that naturally followed the mania. I was suicidal and didn’t know how to repair my relationship or my life. I am doing better mentally, still divorced and not able to fix my relationship with my ex husband mostly because he doesn’t believe it was all bipolar. He thinks i enjoyed the freedom, the flirting, the attention from guys, spending money, etc. now that i am mentally stable and properly medicated i look back and wonder if he is right. I honestly cant tell the difference between real and mania. Is this normal? I dont even know my own truth. Its freaking me out a little bit. I thought i was past this. Thoughts?? #confused #identitycrisis

I don’t want to be me anymore, so I think I’ll go by hair dye again, even though I dyed it a few days ago. I have this sudden urge to change everything. I want to be someone else. I’m anxious to change things and I want to do it NOW. #MentalHealth #identitycrisis #identitydisturbance

Struggling to figure out who I am? What's my purpose? What's my passion? What do I do? #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #EUPD #identitycrisis
