You can experience dissociation without being DID. Dissociation happens on a spectrum. Have you ever kind of zoned out while driving to a familiar place, got there and not really remembered the drive. That's a mild form of dissociation that lots of people experience.

I'm not DID but have been diagnosed with dissociactive disorder not otherwise specified (DDNOS). It's a milder form and the Dr's way of saying she dissociates but I can't figure out what caused it. I believe it's a symptom of my PTSD.

If it's not interfering with your life beyond being annoying and a little confusing, I wouldn't worry about it.
