Has anyone gained a sense of self? Is it possible? If you did how? I think the empty, void like feeling , is one of the rougher symptoms for me. Especially when I'm alone. I feel like I have no clue what I want to do with my life and the clock keeps ticking. I mean like simple things like hobbies. I want to be able to do things that I like but I'm just not even sure what those would be. I'm not searching for a career or anything big like that. I'm content with being a SAHM. I just dont like looking in the mirror and seeing a void. I just dont know how to find something I'm not sure I've ever had. I'm just not sure sometimes I even exist, if that makes and sense, and it's just an overwhelming feeling. Also if anyone wants to message me to have a venting buddy feel free! I'm awake at weird hours and have crappy social skills but I'll try my best!

      That feeling of emptiness can make me feel like I don't exist either. Have you looked into when you feel the least like an existing person?

        @NeonVixen Usually at night but anytime I'm alone or just with my toddler. I've been reccomended by my therapist to just use distraction skills so thats what I've been doing.

          @mmm that sounds like good advice. Have they talked to you about ways to distract yourself? I find that things I know I enjoy help me feel like myself, like hobbies that are hands on.
