I remember reading your thread on my phone the other night and thought I had responded, but it appears I have not.
I experienced this right after I split with my then fiance in my early 20s (right before I turned 21, in fact). I questioned everything about myself: school/work interests, appearance, how I interacted with people, my relationship with my parents, etc. It took me a solid year of complete chaos to get a hold of who I thought I was again.
Now, at 27 I'm currently experiencing an identity crisis again. I got married 10 months ago and this entire year has been a bunch of "what-if" questions floating around my head. Some days I'm OK with my job and the direction of my life, other days I wish I could just keep driving in my car until I end up lost. I still struggle with decisions I made or did not make in my early 20s that have led me to this point, but I'm at a loss of how to change things, or if I even really want to.
I'm sorry you're also experiencing this, I know how confusing it can be. (hugs to you)
