Losing yourself

[Gangrel]

Do you know how it is when you start to lose yourself? Like when things you liked stopped being interesting and the people you usually are with are not with the same vibe anymore. Hobbies, music, books, or activities that used to energize you suddenly feel dull. Your brain isn't rejecting them out of spite. it's signaling that something inside has changed. Friends who once felt like a natural fit can start to feel distant, either because you've grown in different directions or because the emotional space you occupy has altered. Vague emptiness, a lack of enthusiasm, or even a subtle anxiety about who you are now versus who you were.

I know how it is to completely lose myself. It's horrible. Hopefully you won't end up like me.

Depression and trauma can cause all of this and I have been experiencing this for several months.
