Then again it's supposed to be impossible to remember before you were 3 years old but I do.

everyone remembers parts of their life differently than other people. I can remember being with a friend at a fair and remember we went on the farris wheel but she doesnt remember the farris wheel she remembers the rollercoaster. what made an impression on me didnt make an impression on her. the same with you. you are not going to remember the same exact things I do or anyone else here does. You are going to remember things from what made an impression upon you, good bad or whatever.
there is specifc things that people with DID dont remember about their lives but even those things are within context of what went on in your own life. your therapist can tell you where you fit in with that diagnosis memory loss symptoms and why those things you dont remember fit into being beyond the normal realm of forgetfulness and what is normal forgetfulness for you.
