yes there are many mental, physical and normal things that can cause a person to do things they dont remember doing. it can be as simple as stress related. things like not getting the right nutrients, not getting enough fluids, not enough sleep and other normal issues or it can happen with more challenging physical and mental health issues like bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia, Alzheimer, MS, and a host of other physical and mental issues.
related directly to dissociative disorders ...
DID has diagnostic criteria involving memory issues, so does Dissociative Amneisa, and Depersonalization/derealization disorder, as does Other Specified Dissociative Disorder and Unspecified Dissociative Disorder also leaves room for any dissociative symptom that does not fully fit any of the other dissociative disorders.
in short every single dissociative disorder can have the symptoms you describe. in order to find out what the problem in you is you will need to contact your treatment providers who can help you narrow down the cause and which normal, mental or physical health problem is causing this in you.
