I've been trying to dig out of the same hole for the last few days. Though I might be able to identify my personality(ies) and different characteristics about myself- I see no sense of my own self emerging. I don't know who I am and it seems to be affecting me all day every day. There are so many decisions I need to make which require this self-knowledge to make the correct choice. It's not just choices though, it's actions in general. How should one act if there is no known basis for how one would act.
I'm not sure to define these frequent mental states of complete doubt which I seem to drift in and out of as often as the moon will change phases as part of my personality and just like one of my moods or as a symptom of the fact that I cannot state one fact about myself other than I am alive and typing this. I rush to jump into anything I can that will distracting from the struggle to understand myself. a few days ago, Rachel offered me the name of a doctor she reccomends at school. I declined the offer, but I've been dwelling on it as if I really do need to speak to someone other than myself. There are an obsecene amount of doubtful questions which are inspired by this whole line of thinking and I fear I give them too much humor since they probably just act to distract me from ever taking action.
How does someone even answer the question "who am I," if the qualities of your personality are ineligible details?
