I've been doing an exercise right now, and I'd like to share it.

Basically I grabbed a notebook and devoted two pages to each grade of my childhood. So it looked like this:

*Prebirth (one page)
*Before School (two pages)
*Kindergarten (two pages)
*1st grade (two pages)
etc. etc.

Then I just wrote down bulletpoints of childhood memories as I allowed myself to remember them. Once I got it heavily filled with childhood memories, I started writing my life story in order in this notebook.

Right now I've got a ton of bulletpoints and started writing, and I'm almost to my 7th birthday and I'm unrepressing so many memories. I'm remembering child abuse, neglect, when I started to develop parts of my disorder, etc.

It's really been opening my mind as of late. It's been making me really depressed but I'm dealing with it in return of learning more about myself and unlocking my mind. It's liberating.

That maybe a good idea, but i doubt that it will help me know more about myself.

You'd be surprised. I was able to figure out a lot of how I am already.

I don't think therapeutics are very good at what they do.

How can i become a better person, how can i find dreams, ideas of what i want to do?
I want to understand myself better, but this feeling of nothing is not helping me, tough i kinda like it.

One thing I could suggest (but have not tried myself) is mindfulness. It's basically spirituality without all the religious or hippy bullshit.
