Identity Issues
Identity issues are normal for those who are just entering adulthood. And for most people it is easily managed. But for others everyday can become a constant battle just trying to figure out who we are as a person. You went from being told what to do, what to believe, and how to act to making all your own decisions and finally having the opportunity to be your own person. It can be so overwhelming!
People with identity issues may:
- Overanalyze everything
- Be afraid to make even small decisions
- Need constant reassurance
- Be stuck in the expectations of others (parents, teachers, society)
- Not know their own values and beliefs
- Not know what they want out of life
- Not know where to start to get to what they want
- And more
Constant identity issues can cause a variety of side effects, such as:
- Low self-esteem
- Insomnia
- Anxiety and/or increased stress
- Panic Attacks
- Relationship issues
- Depression
- Lack of self-confidence
- Isolation
- And more...the list goes on and on.
