Yes Peaches, I do....
What you have descried in your post is almost exactly like what I experience, only my parts have specific names and I know there roles. I don't so much lose time with them, but I do experience what is called micro-amnesias where everything seems dreamlike and I can have a conversation or interaction with someone and not be able to recall it completely. When I become aware that I have switched I feel like I am compelled to behave a certain way and my perceptions, views, and values change as well.
I have also been so controlling of my disorder that people don't realize that I have parts per se. They just think that my moods fluctuate and that some times I am just different.
I have been evaluated by 3 different mental health practitioners who have all diagnosed me with DID but state that it is also close to DDNOS due to the co-consciousness.
I know it is easy to want to have a label, so that we can feel like we know what's going on. Lord knows I needed to validate my experiences with a label. I needed a name for it. But I encourage you to just roll with your own punches. Just let yourself get to know these experiences because they are your own. You can discuss this with your T and see if she can evaluate you, but no matter what anyone calls it, these are your experiences.
I don't feel like I really explained all this well, but I've been a little FUBARD over the last couple days so I'm sorry if this confuses you in any way.
