So I guess I'll describe what I experience and see if anyone can make sense of it.
I'm pretty sure I'm aware of what's going regardless of who's fronting, I'm gonna guess and say it's the same for all of us. Ask someone else themselves, I'm clueless. And generally when we switch to me I just go about doing whatever I was doing before, or finish what someone else was doing, or move on to what I need to do next. So I don't really think much of it at that point. We usually all know who is out and when and sometimes how long they're out. Yet not too long after I stop and think. Then it's a whole lot of wait...when did I do that? Did I do that? When did that happen? What happened to the last couple hours?
I don't really loose days at a time it's usually just somewhere between a few minutes and a few hours. So I guess it, what ever it is, isn't too bad. But you know it's rather confusing wondering why I took something off. Did I just do it absentmindedly or did someone else do it without my knowledge. I happen to know Beyond will take off socks,( he has something against socks) But I kinda of know that's him.

if you google the words you will find dissociative Amnesia is a kind of amnesia but not like the kind you get by getting hit in the head with a ball, in sports. its when you cant remember important stuff because of being triggered so bad that you dissociate.
example. one of my children just had surgery, she is fine this was a planned surgery to correct some of her physical health problems.
my point this was a very stressful event, which caused me to feel my dissociation symptoms of feeling numb and spaced out. because I was numb and spaced out (dissociated) I do not remember some very important parts of what went on during the few days before, during and after the surgery. these important memories are not gone they are just dissociated. stored somewhere else in my brain and at some point in the future these memories will come to me again. At some point when our lives return back to normal the important details will be there again.
a person does not have to have DID to have the disorder of dissociative Amnesia. this problem can stand alone or with any number of other mental disorders too.
