This sounds so much like me in the first couple of weeks...
One of my main symptoms was a lack of awareness, so in the months that followed, I lived in a horribly confusing, frustrating, and distressing world; but I couldn't process what was going on - or even that it was abnormal. I was only aware of each moment as it was happening. "Waking up" began to dawn about 3 months in.
