When you first found out did you feel like you had no idea which emotions were real? I don't know who I genuinely like, because I've hated and loved everyone I know, which feeling is the true one?

As lame as this is, I wish I knew someone who was dealing with the same thing.

I'd like to hope I stick around on here, but knowing me I'll probably not hear from anyone and decide to bail.

I could have written the above.
I never know (or knew) which feelings are real. Or even which 'me' was real.
What works me so far is trying to just accept whatever I am feeling.
It's actually quite difficult for me to do, but I found so far it helps to acknowledge whatever I am feeling (even if it feels phony).
