It's been a long time since I posted or visited here. My therapy has continued for better or worse. The better is a noticeable decrease in SI and other depression like symptoms; most people don't know I'm struggling because I'm able to set it aside that for a time period (not think about it); and an increase in work productivity.
The worse or questionable worse is not knowing who I am anymore. Parts of me seem to be gone or seem to be only fleeting thoughts rather than whatever they were before. Very little in my inner world seems to make sense these days. There's this emotional "heaviness" to things. Additionally, there is this element of things feeling new. I'd almost describe it as a birth of a personality or something. It is not quite to the place where I feel like I am waiting for an operating system to be installed, it does feel like the majority of the book of my life is unwritten. I don't even know if any of this makes sense. Ignore if it doesn't. Has anyone experienced anything that sounds similar? |

I don't have a similar experience that I can quite articulate, but what you wrote resonated in a "totally makes sense" kind of way. Also, I am glad to see you here.

I miss you Elio, and wonder how you are. You seem in a complicated place- on a threshold.

Spiritually, what it sounds like you are describing to me is either an awakening or a re-birth after dark night of the soul.
Once things organically end in our lives, whether that be levels/phases, there is a period of waiting for the new to begin. Totally normal. |

Yes, I've had that before too. I think for me it was that parts of my issues were more or less resolved, but these issues were what I'd have been thinking about all my life. It used to be my life for years. And now they're suddenly gone. It takes some time to get used to. But for me, after a while I felt normal again, just less preoccupied with things that once were problems.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
