I can’t seem to make up my mind about anything. They say life is not just about finding yourself, it’s about creating who you want to be. Now how I do I do this without simply basing it on what makes other people happy? Cause that’s all I’ve been doing. Trying to please people cause I don’t know quite yet who I really am.

Hi Landing47. I understand. I think it might help to do more on your own to get a feel for who you are. It takes time. Moving out may help. Also therapy might help and dream analysis. Good luck!
I just want to say hi and let you know that I can relate to your post. I’m definitely a people pleaser, and completely lost as well. Any time I thought I knew what I wanted and set my mind on it, it completely backfired and I’m then I’m back feeling lost and like a total loser. In the last four years I went from working a job that I hated, but making a decent income, to quitting so I could go to school and earn my first college degree. I thought being a nurse was my calling, but I ended up dropping out of clinicals, due major panic attacks, and had a complete mental breakdown. I am on several medications to try and manage my depression and anxiety, but now I’m back to working a boring, soul sucking job that pays even less than CNA work. I just hope and pray I have a heart attack or aneurysm that takes me quickly so my family can get my life insurance money. I’ve tried so hard for so long and I’m tired.
Sorry you’re going through this. Don’t ever let anxiety try and get the best of you. It’s tough to deal with but this makes you so much stronger! I wish I didn’t have anxiety but it gives me the ability to help others and knowing I can help one person makes me happy. Start doing what makes you happy! Don’t be so hard on yourself. You are loved and cared for ❤️
First step i’d say is to part putting yourself first. You matter, you are loved so much and you are seen! Do you have any interests? What are your hobbies?
