Lost Myself in Trying to Please Others

I am definitely in your shoes right now... For me, I've been just separating myself a lot with people but I found that it makes it worse for me. Especially with my mental health, and I love to talk to the people I care about. Yet... I do not exactly feel like myself. I'm like this empty void with no one inside and it's just this weird aching and tiring feeling. It's very hard to unlearn bad habits for the better...which is something I am working on and willing to get better. It's very hard to do and I know I am not exactly patient with time and I like to be able to get better asap but then again... Time is very good for you too. I'd suggest that you take time for yourself whether it's walking, shopping, or browsing items or interest. Maybe pick up a sketchpad or a book? You could even journal as well! It will take time but .. I do know this from past experiences that it is good that it takes time to rediscover yourself. Things will get better if you let it get better... I believe in you! Be kind to yourself as well! :']

I feel this way too and honestly it’s been great to separate myself from my normal to see what I do and where the instinct is. Take time to pause and properly reflect what you want. If that’s to take a walk, go do it. Start small like that and work up.
