I don't know myself at present.

Hi I know this sound weird but I don't know myself at the moment. I have been on Sertraline long term and it helps.

I feel confident in many situations and haven't really noticed myself being any different.

But. When I talk normally to my mother she says I'm being random, bolshy or aggressive and I do not think I'm an aggressive person.

Additionally I have been on gambling sites but I've set a limit that I don't spend too much but I find that I can Zone out and keep clicking on the spin of the game as it distracts me.

Finally I've been clicking on online sites, many where I know there is no interaction with people but they've posted videos that I've watched that I wouldn't normally watch. This has got me in trouble with the police as I have chanced upon sites that have indicated that I may have been posting indecent images which I definitely have not.

All these behaviours are totally against my normal character, but a distraction from my normal. What do I do?

don’t click on emails from strangers as they will blackmail you etc. stay safe. Stay private only with close friends you know

Being puzzled by "who are we?" must be experienced by more than half of the people, if they old enough to have self-awareness. My mother told me I "had too much pride!". I was too young at the time to know what that meant, but I knew it waa supposed to be bad. I found out later it meant that I had a point of view and disagreed with her about some opinion or other. We can learn bew things no matter how old we are. And it is never too late to improve. I won't comment on anything re: police, but pay attention to warnings that can come from anywhere or anyone. If there is any sign if addiction to anything, there are helpful support groups where you can meet friends. The word "addiction" says that whatever it is you don't have control over, and you need to have control of some things. Addressing addictions can help you have more choices. And more freedom. And more self-understanding. It is a journey no one else can take for you, but people who have had the same journey can be helpful.
