Feel like I don't know who I am

Thought this would be a safe space to wrote his I've been feeling. Been feeling this for a long time, early 50s mum to fab children, married but have forever felt I don't have any personality or much to contribute when in company. I just don't feel like I know who I am if that makes sense? I feel like I don't have strong opinions on anything and I'm not very good at anything I do. My job is dull and I find it hard to get excited about any of it. I'm on citalopram but still feel all of this constantly. I exercise regularly too for physical and mental benefits. Just not sure what I can do to make this feeling better. Thanks for reading

If you’re peri age, the recommendation is to be on HRT for MH rather than antidepressants. And antidepressants can dull your feelings.

Thanks ☺️ I'm on the HRT gel now wondering if I should maybe wean off the anti depressants as the two might be too much although the doctor never suggested I do that...
