Everything you wrote seems very real to me, it seems like something that was experienced in the worst possible way and managed or can live with them trying to help themselves, it is very useful for those who are unable to obtain the correct treatment.

This may sound weird, but lately I've had moments where I "remember" that I'm real, as if until that moment I wasn't real, and I just realized that I exist, and I'm the one running everything, and even then, it doesn't feel altogether
I think that is dissociation ^^ hug hug 🫂
