#i'm thankfully used to navigating my brain weirdness at this point tho

I feel like that feeling of molting is entirely normal as you grow up, even if you experience a more extreme version of it. I totally understand and empathize though, as I've noticed a lot of systems and ego death experiencers do. I'm an amnesiac though (actually had it happen twice, once as a preteen and again in my mid teens). That sort of disconnect with your body and who you once were can be hard, unbelievably so, but from what I've noticed it kinda flows and ebbs. I don't think I've ever felt like the same person I was before, but I feel like there are times I'm more connected with the body I'm in and that the past is mine and other times I feel much less comfortable. I feel like over time though, the intensity of either tend to kind of mellow out to where you may feel more or less connected to your body but it becomes more comfortable. You've lived in it long enough that it feels more like you, in a sense anyway. Hopefully this helps in some sort of way, I suppose, even this ask is a little too rambly.

YEAH that's it this does articulate it pretty well .... I'm definitely very thankful I never had actual amnesia . But It feels like suddenly losing your muscle memory or something and having to get used to things again or like. grow back into your brain
