I have had much therapy; lots of traumatic childhood abuse! i have remembered a lot of traumatic events.
I don't know if I'm DID because as a child I did have alters, I remember having other parts back then and I remember losing time back then (as a child).
And now when I am just awaking from sleep, sometimes I hear two voices, not me for sure, inside my head, having a conversation,and they become silent as I become fully awake.
But though I am sure that I'd have fit the diagnosis for DID back when I was a child, aside from hearing those voices when I awake, I don't lose time at all during my waking hours. Of course I can't tell you if I switch when I'm sleeping; how could I know this?
So I have gotten lots of memories back but not so many of the accompanying emotions. I have this sneaking suspicion that there are parts/alters within me who I just have no contact with and don't know at all.
But I'm not really sure. Of course I'm sure I have some kind of Dissociation disorder and post traumatic stress disorder, but thinking, based on childhood evidence I know I had DID, so mustn't I still have it?
But then why do I not switch and lose time in my daytime hours at least?
thanks
