Yes. I do not believe I have ever experienced the kind of severe loss of identity you describe, but I have experienced a loss of identity in connection with depression and its effects.

I'm still in the looooong process of getting through it. Over time I've noticed my wandering mind and sporadic energies have taken me in circles that are not totally detached from the historical me. I'm a shadow of my former self, but the former self is still discernible if dim.
Do you have any traditions or rituals or mementos that remind you of who you are beyond the depression?
EDIT: How did things go with T?
