I don’t know if this is part of my illness or a common symptom.
Lately. I’d say the past few months (increasing in how much I experience it)
I have felt like the real me was replaced a long time ago. Like my body is a shell and the real me was discarded and some other entity entered my body.
I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or if you think it could be a symptom of my illness
Thanks.
Maybe by doing stuff against your natural inclinations, for a long while, makes you feel disconnected? How much is your daily life aligned with your wishes and views?
That’s a good question.
I suppose after having 2 children I feel I have lost myself and identity in becoming a mother.
Maybe this has a lot to do with it.
Perhaps you grew up wishing to become someone completely different from your current self. It’s not bad and it’s not good. It’s a “situation”. A psychologist could give you pointers on how to find balance and purpose again. I’m not experienced but I’ve felt the same while working in jobs I hated.
Thank you. I am on a waiting list to see a psychologist. I will probably bring this up to their attention.
Yea I mean, those jobs weren’t bad, I just wished to have been elsewhere at that time.
Presently I feel on the fence about the job and other aspects of my life. I’m taking baby steps to improve my mindset.
Oh yeah, I experienced this. I remember when I was replaced and even my mom seemed to take notice. But it doesn’t make sense because I would still have to have a part unchanged to notice. I find self and other fascinating. I 100% know what you mean. I don’t think it can be refuted. In fact, many times I have been replaced though too slowly to notice.
