hi lara, and welcome to PC, you are in a good place.

firstly can i just say, please dont apologise for "bothering", its a good thing you have, it will help you find YOU again. as Rhapsody said, there are many people here that have experienced the same as you, many have found the ME factor in themselves but it does require hard work.

i cant say ive lost myself, ive never been thee true ME since i was too young to remember, comments and actions from others made me hide my TRUE self from such an early age. but i am finding myself now, and its a good feeling. and i know you can find yourself again.

the world is a cruel place and people generally look for someone to dump their unwanted feelings on, its an awful thing to do as humans, but there are many who do it.

dont worry too much about your change in likes etc, they will return soon enough.

have you began councilling/therapy yet? that would help alot if you did.

i wish you all the best in your descovery, and i want you to know you arent alone in this voyage of self-descovery. many of us are right beside you, taking every step with you.

take care of YOU, nuture yourself and your true being will emerge when it sees fit.

speak soon, and once again, welcome to PsychCentral
