Hi - I am similar to you with the dissociative piece and the different "hats"; the spiritual self, the intellectual self, the street wise one. But I do have moments when those are ONLY those... if that makes sense. Like there is no "I" that is the one here writing this. Or that we "share space". There are also kids who didn't know they were kids until MUCH later.
I do know that after a swap, the headaches are pretty bad. Or I'll have stomach problems. Sometimes a self is so like "me" that I won't realize there was a switch (or swap or whatever term) until I have the headache or find there's a chocolate bar missing - just the wrapper - and I live alone... I really wanted that.
That sort of thing.
There are different ways of being DID or DDNOS. This one is more co-conscious. Others have thicker walls between parts or can't hear each other, or only some can hear others, etc.

My memory has been going a little weird lately since all the trauma memories have come up. My dissociating is worse than ever and the headaches are a pain but I don't think I have hidden personalities in me.
I feel like I'm a little different depending on the circumstances and figure everybody is like that to a degree. I have a tough part to me, not a bi-tch but street smart, I have a spiritual side, and intellectual side and so on. But I'm aware when these parts when they are happening.
I wish I had more answers.
