Ultimately, you have to find your own truth.
Dissociative Disorders run on a continuum with DID being on the more severe side of the continuum. There are a lot of people on this forum that have strong opinions and beliefs with various educational backgrounds. That being said, although there are specific criteria that need to be met to qualify for a dx of DID or even DDNOS, there is not one text book way to be DID or DDNOS. I personally believe that DID is also on it's own continuum.
Everyone brings to the table their own experience and knowledge.  But the opinion that matters most are those of your T and yourself. I think that you should leave the "do I or don't I" questions with your therapist and yourself and not let anyone else tell you differently. No one has observed you and assessed you like your T. And even though it sounds like things feel pretty confusing inside of you right now, no one knows you better than yourself.
Keep your head up!!
