FEELING DISCONNECTED FROM YOURSELF?
A GUIDE TO HELP YOU RECONNECT
“I don’t feel like myself anymore.” have you been saying this lately?
Maybe you’ve been showing up every day, doing what needs to be done, staying productive,
even smiling but deep down, something feels off. You’re not quite sad, but you’re not at peace
either. It’s like the version of you that used to feel grounded and whole is no longer there and
you’re not sure how or when that shift happened.
If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. And more importantly, you’re not broken.
So, what’s really going on?
When you no longer feel like yourself, it’s often a sign that your inner world is calling for
attention. These feelings can come from:
• Burnout — constantly giving without pausing to refill your own cup
• Major life transitions — like a breakup, job loss, relocation, or becoming a parent
• Emotional suppression — avoiding feelings for too long
• Chronic stress or anxiety — functioning in survival mode
• Unprocessed grief or trauma — which quietly shifts how you see the world and
yourself
• People-pleasing or codependency— becoming who others need while abandoning
yourself
When these things pile up, it’s easy to wake up one day and feel disconnected from who you
used to be.
Here’s what you can do
If you don’t feel like yourself right now, these small but meaningful steps can help you begin to
reconnect:
1. Name it without judgment
Start by acknowledging it gently: “I’m not okay right now, and that’s valid.” You don’t need to
explain it to anyone. Just be honest with yourself.
2. Make room to feel
Instead of staying busy to numb it, give yourself space to sit with your feelings. Journaling,
prayer, stillness, or even a short walk without distraction can help you reconnect inwardly.
3. Don’t isolate yourself
You don’t have to go through this alone. Talk to someone safe. Sometimes even saying “I don’t
feel like myself” out loud creates a shift.
You’re allowed to pause . You’re allowed to heal.
You won’t always feel this way. But for now, give yourself grace. The version of you that feels
“lost” might actually be the version that’s finally being honest. You’re not going backward you’re
just coming home to yourself, slowly and gently.
And we are here to support you every step of the way.
