Thank you gretta, pegasus and amanda. You all have been so informative. I would like to say that I understand more, but now I'm even more confused lol. So if they don't have to have names, or even full on personalities, only those which hold memories, how do you seperate the DID from another dissasociative diagnosis? Blackouts aren't only part of DID, and neither is changing attitude/personality during those correct? That could all be dissociation correct?
Like let's say a girl is normally conservative (yes I'm talking about myself lol) and she's walking down the hallway going to her room and her mother yells "What did you say to me?!?!" and she is confused, not thinking she said anything. But the mother claims the girl just cussed her out, although the girl never swears and thinks the mother is falsely accusing her of doing so because she doesn't remember. How do you differentiate in this case memory issues or dissociative disorders non DID from actual DID?
They can have names, they don't have to have names. They serve a purpose but don't have to serve any more purpose than holding a memory? So do you gain alters during each traumatic event? When an alter comes out to take the memory when something terrible is happening, do they stay out or do they stay until it gets too much for them and than they split again? Is that how it works? Al systems are different I know, but that kind of makes things more confusing.
Thanks again for all of the replies, sorry for asking so much but thank you for such wonderful replies. I'm just trying to learn to kind of ease my mind on the DID diagnosis and try to understand systems in general to hopefully better understand this system in here
