I sometimes -usually late at night- as I'm working on my computer or going over the events of the day, have one or some of my alters talk to me about different things and even ask me if I remember this or that particular thing or event and I'll be like "When? No... Wait." Then I have to check through the stored memories like going through files until I find what they are talking about and then I'm like "Ok! Um...yeah, I remember now... What about it?"
But, it's like the memories are not necessarily my own but, the memory of an alter that I can only see because I know how to search for them when one brings them up.
It's like our brain is a huge database and I can familiarize myself with memories that I don't experience first hand by just viewing them in my mind's eye.
Does this sound like anything that anyone who is sure that they have DID or some form there of has experienced?
Thanks for this!

yeah..... we have this too, but our internal discussions at the end of the day usually revolve round the day itself, something that's coming up that's causing all of us (or some of us) anxiety, or natalie takes over and rants about stuff and we have to listen.

I'm OSDD/DD-NOS, but I relate to this.
It's a bit like remembering being told something or remembering a movie rather than remembering experiencing it.
But, if the part that actually experienced it moves really far front, then I start feeling the experience physically (like emotional pain, fear, etc.). I still don't own it as mine immediately - that's a harder leap to work on in therapy.
Thanks for this!

Thank you for your answers. It's nice to finally be acknowledged that I am having DID-like symptoms as I have been convinced for many years that that is one of my problems.

Definitely. Sometimes it's an issue that may get several relating. Most recently the cell phone videos at Parkland
