This is due to dissociation I believe.. because I keep losing myself over and over again and it is part of ptsd.

yes I get this but with me its not part of my dissociation or PTSD. with me its part of my medication (anti depressants, anti psychotics for my bipolar disorder, and other meds for my MS, and other physical health issues) my physical health problems also cause me to be very forgetful
I know many people with schizophrenia and other mental disorders who have this problem too....
my point theres probably lots of people around that have this same problem since its part of just about every mental and physical and with some people normal.
suggestion talk with your treatment provider. maybe there is something they can do that will help you to feel better...
for example my treatment providers recheck my meds, we review grounding, anti anxiety and breathing tools that help me to reconnect with my self,
another example my treatment providers and I have come up with journals, writing things down, developing schedules\routines that can help me to remember things short term and long term....
