Q: lost touch to my true self

I feel lonely even when surrounded by people. Same feeling for years. I have good friends and great family, they care about me. I think like my job but I feel that I am not successful at all. I really want to change it but I feel like stuck here where I am losing my confident everyday Sad. I have tried to motive myself but I act like lost case and afraid by failure at work and private life as well therefore I got it. I am sure, my colleges and manager treat my work not well. They don’t give any urgent or high priority task Sad. All this has been express unmotivated on me. I do gym, hang out with friends. I study my master without big success so far. I am single for 5 years, any serious relationship these years... I am interested in photography and attend course. All these years I hope the better is comming … but it's just getting worst. I think I will die by sadness and loneliness. Is this poseble? I am unhappy all time, my face looks sad. I want to run away somewhere far from here but I know I will be same me. I am 30 years old and I don’t know still what I want in this life and why I feel unhappy, lonely and empty. I just want to find out what I miss and what I really want and need in this life. Or all these feelings should be normal life stage? I’m lost in life. How can I find my talent and find right job. I can not leave this one without find others. I really want to find my soulmate. And why I don't enjoy during I am searching for new job or my soulmate. Why do I think that this will change my life to better one. I really can not control my dark thought which make me unhappy and lonely? I don't want to give p but I feel so tired. I seem to have lost touch to my true self? Am I crazy?

Been there
Maybe im not the best person to be responding, being I ask myself that question almost daily, am i crazy? but really, if I were you Id look into depersonalization disorders. Ive had similar feeling as you although I found my soul mate, It doesnt change who you are inside. Atleast not the way you think it will..your still you with the same dark thoughts. Of course I also hear voices and have black out periods (was recently diagnosed with D.I.D.) so I know we have different issues, I think our feelings are very similar. I found the best thing for me was what I least expected, a good doc to talk to once a week, she puts life into a new perspective and ..I dont know how to explain it, I guess it just feels better to really let it all out each week. I wish you so much luck and of course happiness on your journey.

It's funny as I have looked at this post twice and came back to it twice...Guess the third time I will follow through and answer it...

I think many people struggle with self doubt...Wonder if they will meet the right person or question who they truly are...I have never thought about this as much as I have in the last few years...You see I met my soul mate long ago, yet never meet the real person who I am inside until more recently...

You ask are you crazy?...No, no more than I am....I, like you, have never been close with people...I guess more distrustful than anything...I found that getting too close to people can hurt....So I guarded myself against this...What helped me more than anything in finding the true person within myself, was talking with someone...What started my talking to her about a different subject, became a new finding of who I was inside and all the fears of life disappeared...I think a woman Therapist may also help you...One that you trust...One that you can really talk about life with....One that you can call your friend....

Talking with another people who know you can give you confidence in yourself...Can make the doubt disappear and the inner person escape from the fright of life...This way you are more able to tackle all your tomorrows....

I hope this post makes some sense to you...If it doesn't, please forgive...It just may be one of my "coming out" stages of life...

Find peace my friend,
Caroline

your situation isnt so bad, im in the same situation (depression) but i dont have a supportive nice family, or lots of friends. i m not working right now. i go to a support goup that gives me hope and help me. depression can control your thinking. write in a journal your goals, dreams, and desires, short term goals and long term and try to acheive them. and keep the journal to write down your thoughts. this helps me
