Do you ever feel your soul or Self is just disappearing?

Like every part of you has been to give to others, listen to others, please others, serve others, fit in with others...that it takes a toll mentally after DECADES of this. You can't even identify WHO you are . Or what you do really want. Sometimes I feel I'm not a human being, but a scrap of a person. Almost non existent.
Has anyone felt something like that?

Been there. Unril one day I just couldn't deal with it any more. I refused to go on the guilt trips any longer. I decided to live alone and do my own thing and although I do hurt peoples feelings sometimes, I no longer let it eat me alive. I know who I am, what I am & what I want. It's taken me a long time to find ME & I'll never let me go again.

I'm coming back a bit. But I'm noticing that winters are killing me lately. The last two years made me wonder if I really shouldn't move to a warmer and sunnier part of the world for the sake of my mental health. I never had this problem before, I don't know what's happening.

I feel I am disappearing or maybe already have due to illness. Not so much from people pleasing. Although my responsibilities definitely feel more pressing but those were my choices.

Yes all the time everything is such a struggle for me and I feel like I'm losing. I don't know why, I have so much to fight for, but it's so hard. I am losing and I don't know if I have another hail mary left in me
