For the past couple of days i have been feeling as though i am not myself. I feel as though I, along with my lifestyle has changed, and not in a good way. As if it has moved away from who I truely am. I don't know what the problem is. I suppose it could be my girlfriend who is very controlling. I've also lost touch with a few couple of very good friends.
I was a casual drug user and drinker but the majority of this has been cut out of my life for 6+ months now.
Thanks. x

Feeling out of sorts for a few days doesn't seem like much to worry about, but it sounds like this sort of feeling is unfamiliar and/or uncomfortable to you. As a person who once had a very serious drug problem, I would recognize these feelings as being the prelude to a relapse, but not knowing a great about you, it's hard to know where this is heading.
If I had to guess, given the clues you've offered here, I'd suggest that you tend to be a passive person who does not confront problems directly. Hence, the drugs/alcohol and the "controlling girlfriend."
The clearest, quickest way to find yourself is to be honest in word and deed. Easy to say; very tough to do. You may need a little time to really get to know your true feelings, particularly if you've invested a lot of energy in repressing them for a prolonged time.
I hope this will at least give you something to think about -- good luck to you.
Of course, if it's a deeper problem and it gets worse and is interfering with your life significantly or otherwise causing a problem, you might need to consult with someone who could help you besides the internet.
