Who am I?

[Anonymous3]

I left my abusive partner and just feel empty. I think I’ve always struggled to understand who I am or who I want to be, I’ve often absorbed other peoples personality traits as my own.
When I was with my abusive partner, I felt so important and needed, as stupid as that sounds, and now I have no idea who I am. My mind feels so busy and I’m constantly overthinking everything I do or say, everything I think or feel. I feel like I’m always playing myself as a victim when I have no right to, it’s all so confusing and my mind feels so foggy and has done for the last year now.
Is it normal to just feel like an empty person after, and also feel like they made you more complete despite everything that happened? Even as I’m trying to explain it now I’m struggling to find the words, I just feel empty and confused and almost cautious of myself?

I think this is normal. After a relationship like this you lose yourself, because you are constantly bending to make someone else happy.
Take time for yourself, learn who you are and what you enjoy doing. Xx
