I Am Trying to Find Who I Am

I've been in college 4 years now and don't know who I am, or what I wanna do with life. Talking to a therapist, I may not have a stable sense of identity with the way I grew up and the abuse I dealt with, leading to boderline personality disorder. Now I don't have multiple personalities like that, but my mood can go from 0-100 real quick or vise versa with no cause or catalyst.
I just need to look inward, and make my own purpose on this planet. It's hard though, and I'm struggling. Idk if anyone is in a similar boat or not, I just don't know what path to choose to go about my life.
But I am trying.

I was where you were. It is not easy to move forward from. The key thing is honesty...listen to what others say about you...really listen and learn.

you aren't supposed to know all that right now. Life will tell you what you need and want. Why do so many 18-21 year olds think they are supposed to be all set up in life? You just stepped into the world...to learn about yourself and to grow. Putting all that unnecessary pressure on yourself is sabotage. Right now you need to enjoy your experiences. NOBODY knows who or what they are at your age. Relax

I'm in the same boat, on the same lake (or river), in the same darkness. Well, except for the abuse part... Plus, I'm older.
