I have all of the symptoms except the first one is questionable.
I have missing time, and evidence that there is possibly an altar or altars...
However, I have no memory or awareness of what occurred or what state I was in, and a bit skeptical. But there's evidence that I've done things that I have no memory of doing.
At this point I really just want the truth.
But I do have several "altar ego" states that are very distinct and some have names. It's been a personal question about if I've partially split.
This thread is very helpful and I'd enjoy all the info I can get. I'm getting conflicting info... Is DID common or rare?

I have explored whether I was DID/Multiple, and I admit I don't know very much about it. I technically am not DID/Multiple, I am told, because I do not fit enough of the criteria.
My observation is, just because "experts" make up the criteria, it doesn't mean they totally grasp the issue.
My thinking is- we now know gender is a spectrum (not that gender is a disorder at all), we know autism has a spectrum. Maybe DID/Multiple is also on a spectrum? Maybe I didn't completely separate...Maybe I am partially torn? Maybe I am DID/Multiple not otherwise specified?
I may be totally off base here.
Do you think DID/Multiple can be on a spectrum?
