My therapist has brought up several times that I seem to be having an identity issue. I do agree that I don't know what my identity is. But I never thought that it could be causing most of my problems. I'm always questioning my feelings or thoughts and sometimes I can't tell if my feelings are real or just in my head. What if things aren't as bad as I feel or believe they are. My therapist has asked me a few times about my self identity and I have no idea. I never really thought about it before. I feel like I change a lot. I've never been the same all the time. I think I usually just pick someone to be similar to and I go with it for awhile until I decide to change again. I've always been this way. I guess maybe now it's causing problems because I feel like I don't have choices in what I do. When I met my husband I was not what or who I am now. I kind of adapted to how he was and now I feel like I'm stuck. One of the biggest issues that I have now is not being able to work. I feel like I'm not going anywhere or growing. Like I'm being left behind. I've been out of what I did for over a year now and I don't even know if that's what I should be doing anymore. I'm so unsure now. I honestly don't know what I want to do anymore. Yea I liked being a hairstylist but I don't feel like I'd be that good anymore. I keep thinking that maybe I should go back to school but I have no idea what I would go for. I want to do something because I would like to personally be successful. I would like to have things. Right now I feel like there isn't really a me. And when I think that maybe I've found a little bit of who I might possibly be it's wrong and hurts someone that I love. The other major issue I've been having is my emotional needs seem to be unrealistic. I just want my husband to be passionate about me and I don't feel that from him. He keeps saying that he hasn't changed but he's not the same as when I fell in love with him. I just want that person back. That's what I crave. I'm so tired of bringing up my needs to him because I just feel like I'm asking for too much. I'm not getting the intimacy that I need from him and now I don't know if it's real or just because me. Reality, as far as my feelings and emotions go, is becoming very blurry. I was very upset last night, depressed feeling thinking about how I feel like I'm not a person because there's nothing to me and I just want to be a person and my husbands reaction to how I feel makes me question my feelings. Should I even have these feelings? Are they even real? I just don't even know anymore. It makes me wonder why I'm even here. I also have a great need to be around people, to have friends. I hate being alone and feeling alone. Nothing makes sense. This post probably doesn't even make sense.
The post does make sense. Just take it easy you have very normal problems. Your picture is drama masks your being over dramatic.
Thanks for this!
