Wow Ashley, thank you so much for replying. I thought this question is just so silly, there is surely no answer. But you showed, that there indeed is.

So sorry, for replying back only now, honestly, did not have the energy. I am asking, how could I let it come so far. To get so exhausted.

What are the signs in life that show you, you are moving to the wrong direction. That show, 'if you continue going along this way, you'll end up exhausted, depressed, and as a different person than who you are and supposed to be'.

Sorry, this is now another question: which signs of your body and mind would tell you? Would you suddenly get headache, sleepless nights, an urge to eat sweet stuff? Or would there be a silent voice in your head asking you some irrational questions?

Would that be, how it would look like, when you make wrong decisions in your life? Which then lead to depression?

And if there are currently nothing like signs in you that warn you, how can you develop such a sense for yourself? And why don't we have them from the beginning on? Is this genetic? Or do we have that and we just lose it at some point in life?

Getting back to your reply: that's a fantastic idea, to ask someone you trust. Family member, or a really-really good friend. I am determined to do so and find out, what they can say to this.

Shame on me, but I can not remember the specific situation that made me ask, how can I tell, if I changed, and how should I change back to what I was. I just know, the question became then just so important to me, that I posted it here. I am still struggling remembering who I was, to try to get back to that feeling, to that level of quality of life - when there were no 'un-interpretable' feedback by my environment and when I had energy to pursue my dreams.

Thank you so much again. I will try to follow your recommendation.

And if you have some input to these new questions, that would be great. I am looking forward to it, in case you have.

Interesting question Reset.

I think we should always be checking in with ourselves, especially when we are getting feedback we cannot interpret from our environment. Are there any cognitive distortions that may be at play? I there any old unhelpful patterns that might be interfering? Are there any cognitive distortions that might be colouring our view? How do loved ones view the situation? Can you get feedback from anyone you trust. I think these questions are a good place to start.

Can you share any specifics about the situation you are referring to?

Thanks for posting,

Ashley

Hi All,

I have a question: how can you tell, if you have changed yourself, or if something around you is not right?

I am wondering what signs there would be if your are on a wrong path?

I just don‘t get the meaning of the feedback that I get from my environment.

How can you interpret them for yourself? Is there any guidance how to detect if something is wrong with you? With your personality, I mean.

Please help if you can. Thank you for any advice.
