No offense taken on my part (or parts, ha). I appreciate your response, and I'm sorry you're struggling so much with this, too. It can a very lonely and scary place to be, stuck in your head with these things. I'm beginning to think maybe *I* am more bothered by this than my T would be. And you are right, that whether this is just a return or worsening on the old DDNOS, or somethign further along the dissociation continuum, at least it is fixable.

Oh, if you are looking for info on dissociation and DID, I recently found a book called The Myth of Sanity by Martha Stout, that is maybe the best book on the topic I have read...maybe this book pushed me to look more closely at my own experiences, I don't know. Anyway, compared to many books and articles, this one is hopeful and de-stigmatizing and explained dissociation in a way that really made sense.
