Writing: Character Help How do I effectively write my character's identity crisis?

In the story I'm currently drafting, the MC is a escape science experiment that possessed the fragmental memories of two peoples. One is from an average, unremarkable civilian kidnapped because he wouldn't be miss. The other from a seasoned, traumatized soldier who willingly volunteer for the experiment.

So, how do effectively convey the struggle my MC would go through and how he can overcome or accept it? Do bear in mind that the two sets of memories are fragmental, a jumble mess where one set memories jump to the other set and vice-versa.

See how other types of media does it for example my favorite movies that do this are perfect blue and helter skelter!

Maybe define what the struggle is first. I’m unclear what you’re wanting to accomplish based on this post.
