Thanks for sharing this. I don't have a DID diagnosis. (Actually, I don't have any diagnosis at all that I'm aware of even though I've been kicking around the mental health system where I live for over 20 years.) But I noticed you had yet to receive a reply to this post. So I thought I would write one.

The sort of thing you describe used to be similar to what I used to experience many years ago (not so much anymore.) When I was in college, sitting in classes, I'd have almost uncontrollable urges to blurt something embarrassing out such as: "I still masturbate" or some other humiliating thing. I always just presumed it was a symptom of the near overwhelming anxiety I always suppressed. But I never knew for sure. And I still don't.
