if your therapist knows memories of yours that you do not then she has already been talking to you while you were experiencing memory pieces (otherwise known as alters, parts,and fragments). memories get separated and stored at the unconscious level of thinking because those memories are too traumatic (upsetting and so on) for the person to handle. You told your therapist that you did not want to know any of the memories unless they are good ones so she had no choice but to say she has not met any alters yet. If you tell her you are ready to know then most likely she will tell you "who" told her what memory.

as for the sitting down and writing that is one of the first steps of working on your DID problems after working on grounding, breathing and relaxation techniques. they do the grounding, breathing and relaxation type things first so that when you start working on the harder stuff you have the "tools" you need to take care of yourself and keep yourself grounded when finding out about your separated pieces of memories.

Another word for sitting down and writing what you are hearing - the auditory (words and sounds) memories and what you are seeing (flashbacks) at the same time is called communicating - (you are listening and writing down things). Listening to what you are hearing is also the beginning steps to becoming co conscious (remaining aware while you remember things.

Yea it feels weird the first few times that you listen to what you are hearing and write it down but it will get easier.

Depression and anerexia are physical problems that happen to have a mental thing where the person feels sad and feels they are fat.

It can be a part of DID in that you may have at some time in your life been depressed and or anerexic and because of the abuse you went through the memories from that got separated and stored in your unconscious level of thinking so that you now when not aware act out memories of being sad and or anerexic.

Many people with DID can and do also have depression but it isnt limited to just DID people.

But having depression and anerexia happens without having DID. There are many people that don't have DID but have Depression and or are anerexic.
