here's the thing, I am 19 years old, married and pregnant. I realized that i don't know myself and i was wondering if there are any people out there that found themselves and can help get me started on my search to figure out who i am... i mean i know who i've been.... just i lost it somewhere in the transition from high school to marriage and motherhood.
(please no judgemental stuff about "too young to be married/pregnant" "so stupid" or anything like that... thanks)

You should probably spend as much time as possible alone and without influence from others. If you are a Christian, now is a good time to spend time just talking with God and what He wants to do with your life. If you are or aren't a Christian, you should explore your interests and figure out what you are passionate about in life. The one thing I've learned is to never give up, no matter how much you might want to. It can take years to truly figure out who you are; I'm 26, I was married at 19, and became a mom at 23, and I'm still trying to figure out who I am. I'm closer now than I was even a year ago, but I am still not completely there. Have patience, have faith, and don't forget your personal basic truths :)

Well, I don't know if this is exactly what you're asking for, but this is what worked for me. At age 27 I let Jesus in my heart or "found God" as some people say. Then through prayer and Bible study and letting Him work in me, I became the person God wanted me to be and that person is so much more fulfilled and peaceful and full of joy than the person I was previously. It's an ongoing process too. I don't think I'll ever stop growing, learning and changing until I die and that's a good thing. I guess, what I'm saying is that for me, I didn't so much "find myself" as I let God change me (and is continuing to change me) into the best "me" I can be. (-:

You find yourself when you realized that you have lost yourself. Silly I know, but it is very true. I went through a similar feeling after college when I didnt know what to do with myself. In finding that I had lost myself , that's when I strated rto do what I wanted to do to be myself again.
