this is very interesting.

when i began therapy in 2003, i was dissociating a lot and was very confused and disoriented. i told my therapist (also hypnotherapist) that i thought i might have dissociative identity disorder. immediately, he replied back "no you do not." i have a very active imagination/inner world but have accepted i have no alters. dissociation and depersonalization can explain why memory problems occur.

i hope you discuss your concerns with your therapist. i know how upsetting this can be to wonder and not know for sure if there are alter identities.
