first take time to breath and relax, just because someone sometimes blacks out and has times when they feel and act childlike does ...........not.......... mean they are DID or any other dissociative disorder...

there are many many mental and physical health problems that have these symptoms.

example

someone that I know has these same problems and they are diagnosed with Schizophrenia.

A sibling with these same problems is diagnosed with PTSD with psychotic features and borderline personality disorder

my daughter has this problem and her diagnosis was hermaphroditic with mosaic blood disorder with psychotic features.

my grandmother had early onset Alzheimers and had these same symptoms.

my point is until you go through actual diagnostic procedures with a psychiatrist theres no way to know what you have just by researching online, reading books and such based on your symptoms.

the best thing you can do is just take some deep breaths, relax and contact a treatment provider who can not only look at the fact that you are having problems with black outs and acting like a child sometimes, but they can also look at your life history of meds, documented problems, any "other accompanying symptoms that are not found on the internet and in books/ movies and can get you set up for all the different tests you will need to go through.

your medical doctor can also get you some information that cant be gotten on the internet about DID for example did you know that there is a medical /physical part of DID and dissociation that can be found through doing a brain scan, EEG, MRI. your doctor can look in your medical records to see if you have ever had these tests and if so tell you what those results were and can schedule you for more indepth brain scans where you actually enter dissociative states so they can see what your brain is doing. its really fascinating to see an mri scan while one is dissociating

other than pointing you to your doctors and telling you to relax and not jump the gun based on what you are finding on the internet theres not much we can do here.

we dont dish out advise and such. all we do here is tell you whether we have the same problems you do and what we and our own treatment providers do. we can also make suggestions based on what you post but like the disclaimer at the bottom of the page says before you try anything anyone suggests here you will need to contact your treatment providers.

dissociative amnesia is actually consistant like DID and is part of having DID. its a special kind of not remembering based on traumatic events. but you dont ..........Have ...............to hav e DID to have it.

example its not about forgetting where you put your keys.

its forgetting everything about and around a traumatic event....

if getting fired from a job was traumatic to someone and they have dissociative amnesia they would not remember going to work, getting called into the bosses office, getting fired, they would not remember cleaning out their desk, or going home. they would wake up the next morning as if nothing happened and everything is hunky dory. time to get ready for work. then someone says sorry you dont work here any more, oh I dont ok when did that happen well I guess its time to hit the wanted section and look for a new job, and goes on with their life as if nothing traumatic happened.

my point is if you have this kind of amnesia its just as if everything is still going great in your life because you have no memory of the trauma and anything associated with the trauma, why because your brain has physically placed those memories in your unconscious not conscious storage. made you forget everything about what ever is traumatizing to you.
