I only recently realized I was dealing with MD recently, and as much as it sucked to realize what was such a large and normal part of my life was actually harmful, but it gave me hope because I felt like I had finally gotten to the root of all of my anxiety and depression. Problem is now that the happy feeling that came with giving my problem a label is fading, and I don't know what the next step is. I feel like I've missed out on so much because I've spent so many years living inside my own head, and now I don't know how to live a full life in reality. I don't know how to connect with people, I don't know how to feel comfortable anywhere else but by myself and inside my head, I don't even think I know who I am or what I want in life. I'm panicking because I'm afraid of being trapped inside my own head forever because I don't know what to do now. Obviously overcoming anything like this takes time, but how do I live with it in the meantime? It's frustrating that there's not more research on this. Does anyone dealing with MD feel like they know their real selves, apart from any version of themselves they've created?

I'm not sure we know how but a start would be to visit forums like this one and share your feelings. I'm in therapy and am just now beginning to work on it with my therapist. There is a lot that is still unknown but others on here have shared experiences with successfully minimizing their MDD'ing and some have even stopped all together.  Browse the site - there's lots of great info here!
