It's my understanding that there can be different parts of the self(dissociated parts or different dissociative states)with PTSD(cptsd)and even BPD without it being DID or OSDD.
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong though.But my point was maybe what the OP is calling alters and DID is just part of PTSD(cptsd ) and why it doesn't meet the dx of DID (as she quoted in bold herself when explaining why she didn't recieve additional dx.)

Maybe these discrete states of consciousness are what she calls 'alters'.IDK.
