I had this issue too and it was a great reason for denial. I almost wish I still didn't do this stuff, because now it's just disturbing. But I wasn't coaware for years and those things, the time lapses, the inability to recognize people just fell into place, because it's been happening since we were kids, when DID first starts.

For me now, I notice more like subtle things. I may forget my age. I see my niece run into the room after spending the whole afternoon with her and I am shocked that she's six now. She's asked me before "Aunt Chelsea why are you looking at me like that?" "Like what Jordy?" "Like you've never seen me before".

I don't think a lot of people with DID realize this stuff until they're in therapy for awhile for it. Till they become "co aware".

Some people on here speak about moving around and stuff, living in different places, etc. I don't experience any of that.

Basically, you can't compare yourself to us. Everyone's experiences are different and all of us are at different spots in awareness.
