8 Signs You Are in an Identity Crisis

- Could it be the symptoms you are manifesting are revealing that you are going through a personal identity crisis? If so, this can be a really good thing if you are open. For God is at work to restore what it means to really know who you are.
For most of us, our battles reveal an identity issue. When we do not know who we really are and struggle to live confidently from that place, all kinds of emotional struggles can take place.
Many times, the emotions or unwanted behaviors that are popping up in our lives are actually a signal that we need to revisit our foundation. We need to get back to understanding who we really are.
The term, “Identity crisis” was coined by psychologists who believed that living from your true identity is critically important to your life. Of course, the importance of identity security is nothing new, as the New Testament has been calling us to know who we are in Christ for centuries.
Everything God does in our life flows through the identity that He gave us. Yet for most, identity is not a secure issue. Most were not equipped in knowing who they really are.
As believers, we have been given a new identity. We call it “an identity in Christ.” The “in Christ” means that Jesus paid a price through His death and resurrection that give us the opportunity to join Him in connection to the Father. We become born again and through that experience, we are given a brand new identity.
But for too many, they are not experiencing the “in Christ” part. They are actually living “in crisis.”
So if you recognize the call to get solid in who you are, take heart. Because learning who you are is an incredible adventure, if you will allow.
Identity in Christ is actually so simple, but it can be so easy to skip right past it without ever experiencing it.
Living from that new identity is everything when it comes to emotional health.
When you struggle to know who you are and live out of that authentically, all sorts of problems will manifest in the long term.
For most of us, our trials and struggles reveal the need to revisit the subject of identity, asking, “Who am I really?”
An identity crisis occurs when the truth arises that you don’t know who you really are and you don’t really live out of that. The reality is that a large percentage of the body of Christ are not powerfully connected to who they are in their identity.
We live in a world where identity issues are a chronic problem. Many are manifesting symptoms that they are actually going through an identity “crisis.”
Here are some signs you are going through an identity crisis.

I had a nightmare that I lost my driver's license. When I woke up the meaning was clear. I had lost my identity!
That's deep 😳.... blessings to ur journey 🙏
A huge part of me has completely changed and it's wrecking me. I planned my whole life around this thing and now it's like I don't even care about it. I wouldn't wish this on anyone
@@amyshaw444 I know this feeling and it is miserable
I’m not religious, but this really soothed my heart. I didn’t think my eating disorder may be linked with my identity. Thank you 🌅
I think more importantly first is Jesus wants to be your answer and Give you peace. We have a Father in Heaven that wants you to know who He created you to be. And yes it’s not religious, it’s a relationship with great purpose. But I do agree with the previous comment that He has a kingdom and it comes with great power to overcome. He wants all to know Him and thus learn how it works through that relationship with Him.
My wife has an eating disorder, she’s recovering from it and doesn’t actively engage in the behaviors any more. But, still struggles with ED thoughts. She was emotionally and verbally abused by her step mom, called fat, ugly, stupid, etc by kids growing up. Among many other similar things. But the thing about all those things, is they all attacked her identity. They creeped into her mind, she started to believe them and tell her self the same things. The way her step mom treated her, set her up to be unable to nurture herself.
Identity crisis is depressing and overwhelming, it almost feels like ocd.
I just want to put this out there (selfishly) so that maybe someone can relate or pray for me: I really have no idea who I am and I'm emotionless. I don't know what love is and so accepting God's love is a struggle. No role collapse or emotional breakdown for me, just this incredible sense of frustration from wanting to break free. Where do I begin?
i will pray for yu
I don't know if you will read this a full year later, but maybe you have trauma in your past that you haven't recognized as trauma? I suggest that because I felt the same way you did until I identified that I had trauma, which shaped how I perceived the world, and affected how I related to myself and others, and to God.

We can get waaaaaaaay too invested in our jobs and other "stuff"!
God showed me I was given a false identity by my parents. Glory to God to help me.
Thank you for these studies , I’ve struggle with these . Asking for praying for giving me a strong identity in Christ.
You are righteous (Roman 5)
You are sanctified (Roman 6)
You are blessed (Eph 1:3)
You are created for good works (Eph 2:10)
Finally after this helpful video I am completely healed
Absolutely wonderful video, thank you! Most of my prayers to God in the last few years have been about this, though I never actually thought an Identity Crisis was the problem.
I've been struggling with feeling empty ever since I left University - now I realise it's because I had nothing to distract me from the fact that I don't know what I want to do with my life.
I know I'll be an artist or creator, that's always been a natural talent and love for me. But I was actively discouraged throughout my life by my parents ("you'll never have a stable career", "I don't think you can make it", etc.), to the point I found I didn't know how to trust if I was making the right decision anymore, even when I tried to ignore their cynicism. So now I flutter around without landing on any decision, and ultimately I don't trust my own passion enough to know how to make it bloom.
My indecisiveness and distrust of myself, I understand now, is leading me to a path of non-identity. It's something I've been annoyed about because - as a creative person - having no passion is kind of a problem. It's making me hit art block over and over, my output is less and less each year.
I prayed to God just last night to give me strength and help me find my purpose. And this morning I woke up, did some journalling, and then stumbled on what an Identity Crisis really was - and that it's exactly my problem. I line up with other symptoms too like mimicking other people's opinions, having take-charge friends so that I don't have to make decisions, getting nervous or uncomfortable when someone asks me about me, etc..
God showed me the path here today - I'm so blessed to have His ear! After all, a problem well defined is a problem half-solved!
I’m struggling with the same identity issue. I’m an artist as well. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I hope you’re able to get through this. Have a wonderful day.
Omg 😳 God had been dealing with this very subject. Thank you 🙏 Awesome teaching !!
Me too! :-)
Excellent teacher. God bless.
Appreciate that!
I can't say enough how much I love what you're doing, Mark. This love from the father is foundational, and I've been blocking it SO MUCH throughout my life. Thank you for being the voice of this foundational thing that slides under the radar so so often.
Hey Mark! I thank you and God for this. An identity crisis wasn’t really on my list of what I thought I was going through. Well, the more you know, lol. So glad I’ve been blessed to be made aware of this. 😅🎉
you are beautiful
This is very well communicated, thank you!!
On point!! Thanks Mark.
Thank you!
This was really helpful. Thank you
Such valuable teaching. I recognize many of these in my life several years ago. I feel that my identity in Christ has really begun to come together over the last 5 years or so. I've still got much to journey through though. Thanks Mark.
i hate that ppl only present the problem not the solution
Love this guy😘
I'm not religious but i found this very helpful, practical and gave me a lot of food for thought. Also well explained! Thank you!
I am teleworking with a one year old and it is getting harder and harder, and believe this is my "role change". I don't know how to leave work and stay home with the baby. My work is very comfortable and easy, and every day I think about staying with the baby and pursuing my passion work. Thank you! I am trying to consider this crisis a gift. I am learning not to perform for His love. This video was so timely.
That is outstanding to see! In the midst of this tension, you are finding the jewels of growth and overcoming in it all! Amazing!
I struggle with my identity quite a bit
I loved your teaching really helping me
Thanks for your ministry Mark I love listening to the Sonship theology - In Christ
So glad brother!
Thank God for knowing who I am in Christ! I therefore bind my opponents to acknowledge they have an identity crisis because of feeling the need of tearing down and coping the identity of another while binding to hell every denial of identity crisis of those having an identity crisis, binding to hell every unequal yoke and common share with anyone having an identity crisis, in accordance with this word and 2 corinthians 5:17, 2 corinthians 6:14-18 in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah ❤!
Amazing work.its truly a gift from God.Thank you.❤
Thank you for this video Mark. I've been struggling with this for a long time but now I can identify what it is. Praise God! God Bless You and Your Ministry.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much this really helped so much , great teaching 🙏
I'm losing who I am because of major health issues hitting all at one time which is also impacting my finances.
Psychosis completely destroyed my identity and ideas about God due to all the religious hallucinations and hearing demonic voices. I find it almost impossible to recover from psychosis. Mind is completely destroyed along with my emotions. Very little hope that God can heal me 😢
I hv became a shapeshifter eveytime I met n interact with new people/ group of people.. Trying to ground myself by remembering the favorite self from past. .. Thanks for this video
I really needed to watch this, thank you
This is good bro! Thank you!
Great Video ❤❤❤
This is really good. Thank you!
Let me tell you a story of how changed identity changed a hard core criminal and drug addict.
I was working on a Christian rehab centre in Oslo(Norway). On Sunday I went to a church service and the pastor was teaching that it was more blessed to give than to receive... After church I went to buy the most expensive bible. I went back to rehab same evening and I just gave it to one of the guys who had just come in from the streets. He took the bible and ran into his room. He went out half an hour later and told he had just opened it and the first he read was Roman 6! He realised that he had been set free from sin! I didn't know that just an hour before I came he had received Christ. God even set him from from smoking. Decades of heavy drug addiction delivered just because he saw who he was in Christ as a totally new born Christian.
Yes I agree with Mark that IDENTITY is everything.
"If any man be in Christ He is an new creature. The old has passed away, behold everything has become new." 2Cor5:17
The "old man" is a slave to sin, guilty, bound in anxiety and curse... but the new man is righteous, sanctified, blessed and made for good works!
God bless you all dear brothers and sisters in Christ. And God bless this channel and may many people find comfort and help...
Thank u for good teaching, I've made notes for my class tomorrow
Omg I NEEDED THIS SM THANKYOU 💖💖
My relationship with God,school,expectations, my career,relationships, myself
God bless
Highly spiritual...Thank you...
Thank You, as a child of god what would be the purpose of our lives?
You can find out about it in the Bible especially in the New Testament. It's a journey to know God's will for us. Don't be overwhelmed. Take it one day at a time.
This is exactly what I'm going through
Thanks. Another good resource is the mindfulness book "30 Days to Discover Who I Am" by Harper Daniels. It's online.
This video is helpful in my understanding of what and who I am
Thank you
How available is your material in Africa please consider opening a ministry in Africa , I would recommend south Africa please send your material here books are better read in actual literature and Amazon doesn't deliver to every country here.
Praise God. ❤
I was born in 1954. I was adopted, biracial, and finally homosexual. I am 68 and still struggling with identity.
At the end of the day, it's all spiritual & as long as you don't realize who you come from, spiritually, then you will always somehow continue to wonder off!
This helped me
I am currently undergoing all of them and am trying to retrieve my soul. I wasn't this way b4 for the most part. Overly identifying with role is 1 of the main ones. It has led me to lose a loved one and turning it around is now a top priority.
I was searching up identity issues and found this, I would like to know what's wrong with me, I tend to pat my head and reassure myself that I'm fine when I'm feeling down and talk to myself as if the person patting my head isn't me. I thought that its probably my conscience but thats when I'm starting to think of that person's vivid appearance and started thinking that that person might be real or I'm probably just hallucinating. Then later on, I made another person, but she has a different personality, she's quite rough and strict to me, idk why or how they exist but I need answers
girl that’s u. u just wanna be diagnosed with somehting so bad
You mentioned that we a sons and daughters of God. Does this mean we are gods in training?
😀
What if we do not know what our role is currently. How do these steps help if I don’t know that? I’m sure my role isn’t to be a child...or maybe it is??? Idk. A calling is different from a role, right?
We humans often get our identity from our roles and calling instead of living out of our identity. And ultimately, it is God who defines our identity.
( REHAB TIME! ) PERSONAL IDENTITY DEPENDS ON CONSCIOUSNESS NOT ON SUBSTANCE. FACTS OVA FEELINGS!
I love God but I didn’t expect this video to be religious..
I also appear to be struggling with the notion of being a Christian versus not it has blown up to an enormous issue where before it wasn’t an issue
I’m sorry this is quite late but I would advise that you keep holding onto Christ and stay disciplined in seeking Him. “If you seek you will find if you seek with all your heart”.
I go through periods where I struggle with this feeling, but through it all God is still with us and will never leave us; “and know that I am with you always, even to the end of time”,
“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
keep holding on friend, we can fight the good fight together, I’ll be praying for you, God bless you

I have no identity issues because I have no identity
I was gonna watch this video until I realized it was just more religious stuff. Why not just make an informative video?
🖤
💗💗💗
🙏❤️💪💯
I really conflicted if this video is true or huge manipulation with a bad intend. On one hand it’s true and I agree with a lot of points. However I just can’t accept the fact that its very sneaky ( in my opinion) mixing psychological and scientifically based concept with god, church and religion which has nothing to do with a point of this video as it deceiving in a not well intentioned message trying to be shady hided behind a good banner that was just a store front. . purposefully and certainly for most time not well intentioned at all. Why author keeps throwing church, god, Holy Spirit etc etc???? Also story just doesn’t flow. Everything goes well-for a while and last minute modification happens and it’s really does not make sense. All mine observations point out to every statement above brings God or which is total LIE.. There is no good relevant way to really connect all psychological stuff with GOD, what is wrong with it ? Cmon they just made a video with religion in mind and that’s a bad keeps entering conversation that matters because of the how it’s being presented. But still why is religion and science are presented together. They are not to be mixed together. Separation of church and state becomes ignorance a perfect breeding ground for brainwashing people about religion while inserting it over and over into scientifically researched and proven rule of science. Religion, church should never be Mixed. Simple as that. Church and religion always was one Biggest brake of progress of science was always a religion. People used to be killed and burned in the name of church or god or religion because they where trying to be scientists or doubting church stand on religion as answer to everything already. So yeah it looks like a video that is 95% true and 5% of BS. Well if someone offers you soup that happened to only have 5% of sh$t in it by unfortunate accident you would still not gonna eat that soup
i am *puzzled*
Dear, watch a youtube channel's very first video to know what is it about. This lenthy comment is a prejudgement since you haven't watched many of his videos from the beginning for sure.

This is a Christian channel
You lost me at religion. There is NO bigger cause of identity crisis then religion
