Has anyone ever felt like they don't even know who they are... I feel like I don't know what my hobbies are, my likes, dislikes, etc. Is this part of the disorder? Because all I feel like is that I'm just going with the flow. I met some friends of my sister's last night and they were asking questions about myself and I had no idea what to tell them, that got me upset and ended drinking a ton last night..

Hey there Alpha91!
 I'm glad you've made the trip and are enjoying family. I don't know if it's a part of the disorder or not. I experience this much more than I like. I think, in my case, that many years of severe depression has made me feel like I've lost parts of myself. I feel like I don't know myself, in some ways, as much as I used to know myself. I'd started with severe depressions 30 years ago now. Is this a new feeling for you? Yes, alcohol can make us feel less discomfort if we are uncomfortable in a social situation. Always great to hear from you!  I hope you'll enjoy the day and the remainder of your time with family.  WC |

I'm the same way. Sometimes I can remember what I used to like, what my hobbies used to be. But if I'm being honest, I don't really like anything anymore. I get through most days the best I can and that's it.

Yes. I don't know if it's part of the disorder or not, but I feel similarly. It definitely gets worse with depression too.

How does everyone deal with feeling like this? I want to take time to figure myself out but I wouldn't know where to start.

I know exactly what you mean. It's like I'm incapable of small talk anymore. No idea what to do about it. If you figure it out, let me know.

I feel like someone has stolen my personality - no pleasure, inability to hold a conversation, sense of humour has just about disappeared.
You just have to remind yourself that it will return - outta ***** comes shine! |

I think we nailed it on the head on this thread
in on and off again or sustaining depression does this to a person (IMO) I

Its hard to find joy or anything when your in a low episode. Going back to baseline it often takes loads of time to get back into things we loved.
It once took me almost a year to get back into reading books... Hell even on here sometimes if a post is more than a paragraph or 2 /and or there are no breaks in it , I just cant read it I dont even try anymore., Sad but true

Me too I kinda just exist. I really don't have any hobbies or really any feelings any more. I guess it's better than the alternative.

I do but that's mostly because I spend a lot of time on my own. Sometimes I don't really know what kind of a person I am

I find I come out of severe longer episodes changed as a person. So I never quite know who I am as a person because it's constantly changing. It's all very confusing. Mostly just go with the flow these days.

Man... It's nice knowing I'm not the only one. Lately that's all I seem to be focusing I'm, and I remember when I felt like I had everything figured out and I knew myself and now it's like there's nothing

It took me a while to figure out who I was. I had to separate what society wants me to do and go with the things that make me happy. And I tried a lot of things. When I'm depressed these things don't happen. I usually talk to my T and pdoc when that happens.
