Just remember that your DI's or DS's are there to help you. They're going to be hard on you, they're going to push you. Boot camp is not a cake walk. The most important thing to remember is that you have to come together with your platoon. It's not about finding yourself, it's about going beyond yourself and accepting that you CAN'T get through it without the person standing next to you in formation.
There are two quotes that my mom sent me off with when I shipped out, the first is from Frank McGee who said "Welcome the task that makes you go beyond yourself." the other "Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indominatable will." ~Mohamad Ghandi
