“What if I have no identity?”
Been really worried about this lately. Having a huge identity crisis and worried that i’m just a shell and what if I just take the identities of people around me? I’m scared

Jesus Christ loves you Dalia. He’s waiting for you to call upon Him. In the Bible it says in Psalm 139:13-14 “For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well”. Go to Christ for he knew you before your were in the womb. He loves you.

I’ve had a very similar obsession before about the exact nature of my identity. It’s an area ocd likes to focus on because there’s a lot of uncertainty, there isn’t any way to “measure” how much of you is unique or yourself as opposed to influence from other people. That allows OCD to mess with those uncertainties and make you worry about the worst case scenario. Exposures can help you get more comfortable with the fears, often for things like this a written exposure will be used. For me it just took time and gradually getting more comfortable with the idea that I can’t know the exact nature of my identity, but it was very hard and stressful in the meantime. Keep going and you things will eventually get better.

I feel like no one knows the real me, I dont even know the real me anymore. OCD has been my identity for so long I always wonder who the f would I be without it. My thoughts and opinions change so rapidly I dont know if their my own anymore. My moods and emotions are so up and down I'm wondering what's the real way that I feel. Have I just been lying all my life.

Identity crisis
Hello everyone. Does any of you suffer from an identity crisis? Sometimes i feel like i dont know who I am, i don't know my identity. I can't explain it very well but its something i call identity crisis which causes me a lot of fear, anxiety and doubt. I have done ERP for my harm and pure OCD and it helped me but this identity crisis still exist. Does any of you have the same issue?

sense of self
i don't know who i am. trauma and bad choices. being exposed to things as a kid. developing an addiction. I'm not happy with who i was. now i don't know what i am. i have thoughts and feelings and they are processed. i have a face and a voice and i seem to fit in sometimes. but i don't fit in anywhere. i don't know if I'm really there. I'm kind of just along for the ride. my eyes are seeing things and the information is being relayed to me. what is me. who is me. how many of me are there inside my shell. how many masks do i have. what am i. who's emotions are i feeling. who's thoughts am i having. am i good or bad. do i exist at all. am i a ghost. am i a mannequin. am i a puppet. am i an actor. what are my motives. what is my goal. who controls me. it hurts. help.
