precaryous, dissociation exists on a spectrum. At one end is "normal" dissociation like highway hypnosis. The other end is DID. DID is a descreet diagnosis of it's own as Amandalouise pointed out. It sounds like you are somewhere on the spectrum of dissociation without meeting the criteria for DID. Does that make any sense?
The DSM has a catchall diagnosis of "dissociative disorder not otherwise specified" that means the person does not meet the criteria for any of the other dissociative disorders, but they do dissociate to the point it causes problems.
