Like I'm watching someone else's hands do what they are doing. Like I'm missing a "connection" to them.
Does that make sense?
I feel like a passenger, looking at my hands "through" something.
Is that because there are two parts of me, blended together, right now? Is it just depersonalization? I would guess that co-conscious is another word for blending.
I would value any thoughts or opinions.

different locations have different definitions of each of these.
in my location depersonalization is what you see in my dissociation link at the bottom of my post.
blending in my location is the same thing as integration... everything that was the alters is now mine.there is no difference. just like a normal person again.
example looking at my hand and thinking wow my hand looks normal, rainy and my hand together looks like I always imagined my hand to look like that finger point used to be a rainy mannerism now its mine because she is me.., wow I have never felt this emotion before, this used to be a rainy emotion and now its my emotion.
co consciousness in my location is having thoughts, feelings, images, but knowing they are not your own....a perception thing\ reality remains intact thing...
example when co conscious with Rainy I would look at my hands and know that was rainy's hand, have a feeling of fear and my thought was Rainy is afraid, not I am afraid and not doing know who is afraid, and not wonder who's hand that is.
depersonalization is like feeling numb, spaced out, when I look at my hand it looks a bit strange but I know its my hand. thought weird I can see my hand but I cant feel it, it feels like theres nothing there I see the hang nail in the corner but cant feel the pain where I pulled that hang nail. I can see my hand is cold because the fingernail is slightly white and my hand is that cold reddish blue of coming in from the cold but I cant feel the coldness in my hand.
my suggestion if you cant tell the differences in you, its best to contact your own treatment providers, they will be able to tell you what the different definitions are in your location and help you to discover what the problem is called in you
