I think  that Neal was going along just fine all absorbed in the person he had become in this world...in love with Emma...wanting to settle down and start a life. He had put his identity as Bae behind him. August comes along and reminds him of who he really was.

When he said he was trying to lose himself I think he meant he was trying to forget that he was really Bae and that  the identity he had given himself as Neal  was a really a lie. And like he said it didn't work.

Got to really be a kick in the head to find out the girl you fell in love with wasn't from this world after all but was actually from your own world. I would think that a part of him was thinking that he was going to finally have a life and then wham...his past comes rushing back  in.
