I question who I really am. I’m not the confident person who took my job, for example.

I’ve done the thing you talk about-just pick a friend or someone I admire and act like them a good part of my life. I’m still doing it.

As far as relationship with your husband, I think that’s another topic, but I do think bipolar interferes with relationships

I was typing into Google, "don't feel like a person" and "don't know who I am" and similar stuff and identity disorders kept popping up. I was reading about borderline personality disorder and I fit the symptoms a lot. I don't like being alone but I don't think I have abandonment issues. I also seen something called identity crisis and identity disturbance. But it shows mostly as a symptom of dissociation and dissociative identity disorder. I don't think I fit the symptoms of those. It just makes me more confused and wonder if I even have bipolar though I do fit the symptoms pretty spot on. But I do have other issues that bipolar can't explain like I wrote in the original post above. I just feel like all my issues are running together.
