Along with this i feel no connection to many things and people that i should. I remember their faces, vague details of them, but i dont feel connected or that i ever was. Its hard to even remember what i wore or did yesterday. And the things im trying to remember today but cant, could be sharp memories tomorrow. And things i can remember today, could be foggy or gone tomorrow.
I feel like im going crazy, feel like im going to lose my memory all together one day. I dont know what to think about this, it worries me.

you are not going crazy, it may feel that way at times but the reality is that in ****general****memory problems happen for many mental and physical health reasons and sometimes for no reason at all.. some things that can affect a persons memory is their age when the memory happened, how they perceived what was happening at the moment that it happened, stress, anxiety, depression, medication, amount of sleep a person gets, the kinds of foods and what kind of diet they are one, medical problems like anemia and other physical health problems come with memory problems, medications can sometimes cause a person to have memory problems as can drugs and alcohol, even the age of the adult can come with memory problems.. gosh I could go on forever listing all the different reasons that I and people I know that have had/presently have memory problems...
my suggestion maybe you can keep a journal about those memories you are having problems with and then take that to your treatment providers when you get the chance to see them, they will be able to tell you whether this is happening to you because of your DID or if theres other reasons behind it.
