When You Go Through An Identity Crisis After Depression

Send us a text

Mum and I, are yet again so proud to bring you episode four! Even with a life glitch at the end.

You thought leaving chaos would bring peace. Instead, you feel... lost.

In this episode of The Perspective Podcast, we unpack what most people skip talking about the identity crash that hits after survival mode ends. When the drama fades and the adrenaline dies down, who are you without the chaos that once defined you?

Mum and I explore:

• Why calm often feels empty and uncomfortable and what that means.
• What happens inside your nervous system when survival mode shuts off.
• How identity built around chaos collapses and what breaks first (sleep, confidence, boundaries, routine).
• The subtle sabotage that comes before breakthrough: eating habits, social withdrawal, overthinking.
• Why real self-confidence doesn’t come immediately after “escaping” it needs time, patience, and honesty.

This episode isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level inspo.
It’s for those who feel unmoored after leaving the storm people ready to rebuild identity, confidence and boundaries from the ground up.

If you’ve ever thought: “Why do I feel worse after I escaped?” this conversation will help make sense of that feeling.

🎧 Listen, reflect, and decide: who are you becoming when the noise is gone, when you feel alone, when new voids are created.
