The Moment I Realized I Didn’t Know Who I Was
Most mental health struggles don’t start with stress. They start when our sense of worth is tied to performance. There was a season where nothing was wrong…but I still felt empty. I was doing the right things, staying busy, making progress on paper. And yet, the quieter life got, the more anxious I felt. That’s when it hit me, if I wasn’t producing or proving something, I didn’t know who I was anymore. That wasn’t burnout...That was an identity crisis. Most mental health struggles don’t come from laziness or weakness. They come from tying our worth to performance. Your worth doesn’t come from what you do. Your peace isn’t something you earn. Mental health improves when identity is rooted in being, not performing. What false identity do you need to let go of?
