I don't even remember half my life.

I have dissociative PTSD; I don't remember most parts of my life but there was nothing else worth remembering except for my dog. My memories are pretty much like single frames on a film reel at best.

I feel I haven't lived. And it's too late now.

I miss parts of my day and get the impression of a series of single frames. Jumping from one to another.

Same, my entire life was just existing and being detached from everything because I had no other way to cope or anyone to depend on. For me it always felt too late since considering how broken my brain has always been from the trauma.

I understand.

I have some symptoms. I don't remember many things about my life and sometimes I don't feel like I actually exist. Sometimes I feel the events around me e.g. meeting or encounters happened before in past life. I don't believe in past life but it is how I feel

I know what you mean. It's a strange way to experience consciousness.
