    I dont even know where to begin with half the shit thats on my mind. I hate who Ive become. I hate what trauma has done to me. I hate living with my diagnosis. I hate what it has made me, I am not me anymore. I dont know who I am.. Im not the same.

      I also struggled in a similar manner. For years, I didn’t recognize the person in the mirror. I didn’t really have my own personality. I was a stranger to myself.
      While difficult to overcome, and even more difficult to come to terms with, disorders, illness, all the lot; they do not define who you are as a person. Even if you’re not the same anymore and even if you don’t really know who you are anymore, your diagnosises do not define you.

      I can’t pretend I know exactly what you’re going through, and I won’t. But I know I’ve been in similar circumstances before, and so, just know that if you ever need anyone or anything, I’m just a message away, as is anyone else in the community.

      Also, welcome to BlahTherapy. You’ll find some great people along the way, and I hope you’re able to sort out everything on your mind. Post a thousand times if you need to. We’ll always be here.
