I feel very overwhelmed when my partner gets upset with my behaviour especially when I have no recollection therefore feel like I can't change it or prevent it happening again.

I have been on my meds for about 8mths so don't think it's related to that my GP is very good at doing blood tests and the like every couple of months.

My partner and I got into another argument last night as I had prepared dinner and apparently it's something I had been told a few times they don't like it got a little heated then ended in tears for both of us. I have absolutely no recollection of being told this and am starting to worry that I'm loosing my mind and things are heading south again. I can't end up back in hospital
Im a bit confused because here where I live and work there is no diagnosis called traits of DID. here the term Traits is a general term that describes whether a person is happy or sad, introverted vs extroverted, conscientious or neglectful. basic characteristics kind of like if you were asked to describe your best friend you would say they have blond hair blue eyes, nice, outgoing....here where I live and work you can have symptoms of a disorder but not traits of a disorder..

example my traits is that I am generally outgoing, mild mannered, hard worker, my dissociative symptoms before I was integrated was feelings of spaciness, numbness, memory problems, feeling like sometimes I was a watcher not a participant, loss of time, hearing voices, .....

here where I am you can have symptoms and still not have the actual diagnosis if you dont meet the diagnostic criteria in the DSM 5.

so do you mean you have what my location calls some symptoms of DID but not all the diagnostic criteria yet?
