Yes, not knowing who you are but being aware of your existence can be a sign of dissociation or depersonalization. Dissociation is a psychological defense mechanism that involves a disconnection between thoughts, identity, consciousness, and memory. Depersonalization, on the other hand, is a specific type of dissociation where individuals feel detached from their own thoughts, emotions, body, or actions, as if they are observing themselves from outside their body or in a dream-like state.
In the context of dissociation or depersonalization, individuals might feel a sense of detachment from their identity or a lack of connection to their emotions and experiences. They may question their sense of self or have difficulty recognizing their own emotions, thoughts, or actions. This can be distressing and may interfere with daily functioning.
It's essential to remember that I am not a mental health professional, and if you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, it's important to seek help from a qualified mental health professional for proper evaluation and support. There could be various underlying causes for these experiences, and a trained professional can provide appropriate guidance and treatment.
