Great question! The correct form is "myself". The term "myself" is a reflexive pronoun, used when you are both the subject and the object of the sentence. Example: “I baked myself a cake.” On the other hand, "my self" isn't typically used because it separates the word into two separate concepts: "my" suggesting possession, and "self" as the individual object of possession. This is usually incorrect, unless you're delving into philosophical or psychological jargon. So, for most situations, "myself" is what you should go with! Hope that clears it up a bit! Can I help with any other tricky language bits?
