Hi Curry223.

I'm really sorry to hear of your distress and feeling, of being lost..

I wanted to share just what came to mind, as I recalled my own experience in my early 20s when I started to feel out of sorts with myself. It took a few years to be told two words, but they really helped me to understand that what I was feeling could actually be understood better.

Depersonalisation - a detached feeling from oneself

Derealisation - a detached feeling from one's environment.

That both arise out of extreme stress.... and consequently, for me I found that I totally became detached from life and started to feel as if i no longer knew my life/who I was. It was strange, chaotic and made me panic.

I wish I'd known about these terminologies earlier, because as soon as I did, I was able to start to reframe the uncertainty into an understandable picture.

There is nothing wrong with feeling 'lost'.... and there can be be an explanation

I hope you are ok though?

reaching out for support and, sharing how you feel is an important step in connectivity. Connection is important when feeling lost.

Keep doing what makes you feel happy, safe and secure <3

Routines are important, also connection to nature/people/ or something that has always brought a spark in your life (like music/reading/.....).

It's not a nice feeling, feeling lost. I'm sorry you are in that place

But know you will be ok - and there is support here too :)

Not what you're looking for?
