Did anyone here lose a twin while still in the womb?

My mom had surgery to remove what could have been a twin but didn't make it through the fallopian tubes, right after I was born. Why do you ask?

Although it focuses on Borderline Personaliity Disorder, many of the statements that "womb twin survivors" tend to identify with overlap with depersonalization and dissociation. For example;

All my life I have been pretending to be someone else, and I know it's not my authentic self.

I have a strange irrational feeling that I don't exist, that "I'm not really here".

I have been searching for something all my life but I don't know what it is.

All my life I have felt empty inside.

I feel different from other people.

Deep down I feel alone, even among friends.

I think a lot about death and dying.

I have suffered for a long time from feeling vaguely unwell, as if I am slowly dying.

There are two very different sides to my character.

I have strong, inner imaginary life that I use as a coping mechanism.
