How do you find yourself after an eating disorder?

Q: I’m recovering from an eating disorder that’s been going on for nearly 2 years. I feel like there are three different people- who I was prior to the ED, who I was during… And who I am now. The problem is, I am not who I was before, or during the ED. I feel so lost, and like I don’t even know who I am. Does anyone have experience with this? Is this normal? Any advice would be really helpful.
