Replies to 'Defining Your Authentic Self'

Hello. New to the site .. so i apologize if this is in the wrong area. Everyone has their own advice on what people need to do to fix themselves. I have neglected my mental health for years .. trying desperately to get my life to a point where I could just stop .. and start again. Not only have I lost myself. I did it so long ago .. I dont remmeber who I am. Over the years of this struggle I compounded the problem with self medicating and other things. I have bottled up anger at myself for many years. All these things I blame on myself, and noone else. My life is nowhere even close to where my inner self strives for. I look for advice, books, links, and other things to help guide me. I am overwhelmed. I have been repeatedly discharged from employment with good references, and with the employer admitting I do a good, if not great job. I start a new job Monday, have finally managed to get mostly debt free. I also own nothing. I want to escape this vicious circle. Self Matters seems a good place to start. Can anyone else confirm this, or maybe guide me toward a link or reading that I may start down this path. This is not a pity post, nor am I her to whine. I have a hard journey ahead and no idea where to start. I also know that starting in the wrong direction hasnt helped.

Thanks in advance.
