Hi Cathy,
Please take a look at my answer to Don about your question -

Hope it helps!
You use me for any reflexive verb.
Je me regarde dans la glace. I look at myself in the mirror.
Je me lave les mains. I wash my hands.
Je me souviens de l'histoire. I remember the story.
Me + y is another story - much more advanced.
Je m'y + verb is used with reflexive verbs followed by the preposition à.
For example, s'interesser à - to be interested in.
Je m'interesse à ton idée -> Je m'y interesse.
I'm interested in your idea -> I'm interested in it.
another example - s'habituer à, to get used to
Je m'habitue à cette ville -> Je m'y habitue.
I'm getting used to this city -> I'm getting used to it.
