I'm very happy for your success! I don't really know about your feeling - "not knowing who you are" - but I know a lot about feeling "not who I am." So take my thoughts for what they're worth.

When I'm feeling better, I want to be who I AM without any expectations of who I should BE. Some of those expectations in the past, I believe, contributed to what I'm dealing with now. So trying to stay short: Take some time to get to know yourself again. Don't feel you must "BE" anyone but who you are right now. And if you are not quite sure about things yet, maybe be limited in what you tell people for a while. Let yourself regrow into who you are going to be without letting how other people think shape you.

OK, after that touchy-feely stuff, here's my basic mantra: "Be yourself as much as you can and don't let anyone convince you that you should be someone else ... but try not to be a **** about it."
