So based on this and your post the other day about red meat, I really really really advise you to seek counseling or a psychiatrist. Obviously no one can diagnose you via social media, but this post is borderline incomprehensible and your recent posts and comments are strongly indictive of some kind of manic episode. I really think you would benefit from help right now and I really urge you to seek it.

I’d suggest reading up on John Locke’s “continuity of consciousness” theory of self. It’s essentially what you’re describing here: he holds that the “self” over time is a construct of the continuity of one’s consciousness through memory. This has some interesting implications: for instance, if someone becomes blackout drunk and has no recollection of the experience, can it be said that that experience belongs to the same person after the fact? Also, as another commenter pointed out this has significant implications in the case of memory loss, especially for someone suffering from dementia.
