I'm new to this...
It happens particularly if I look in the mirror for too long, I start to question who I am, if I'm an actual person if what I like is valid, is what I look like valid, do I even like my piercings or my clothes, do I even like what I like, who am I, why do I look like what I look like, that's not me, etc etc etc. It runs me in circles over and over until I can't figure out who I am or what I'm doing at all. I watch myself like I'm watching a movie and it's not a good movie.

I don't know what could cause this, it's a very uncomfortable and uneasy feeling that makes it so easy for me to break down. It usually calms down if I socialize regularly or do something I used to enjoy (sometimes that doesn't even work either).

I have ideas on what could have done this. I've changed my life and possibly who I am very quickly within two years after 18 years of stability and barely changing circumstances. Does that sounds about right? Could my inability to cope with so much change really trigger such intense feelings of depersonalization/identity confusion?
