I've come to the conclusion that I have 2 truths 1. I know I exist, but not what I am 2. Everything else I want to think I know may be wrong?

But of course, you're saying that or not would also be written...and so on and so on. You can't escape the fact that somewhere in there, you are free to make choices.
