lost identity
Who am I?
Lost identity describes the psychological state of no longer knowing who you are—your values, beliefs, or sense of self have become unclear or inaccessible.
It can follow trauma, major life transitions, or prolonged disconnection from one's roots: After the divorce, she felt a profound lost identity.
The phrase also applies to documents or credentials that have been misplaced or stolen: Report a lost identity card to the embassy.
