Yes, I remember typing this. I don't have memory gaps. I don't think I have DID. I don't know exactly what I have but it's very different from that. I kind of suck at explaining it.
Huh. That's a really huge amount of time distortion for lacking memory gaps..
What do you mean?
It's just hard for a system to adapt to using such extreme mechanisms. In the vast, vast majority of cases, traits like this only develop out of necessity. You also describe identity disturbance, feeling dull, daydreaming a lot. It reminds me of a few of my/our friends--almost all of whom have BPD, and several with C-PTSD or DID.
Not that it'll affect your life to a significant degree. Just found this particular response a little interesting.
I do have C-PTSD and OCD. Most of my issues relating to identity are from OCD.
Aaah, I see.
I feel you. My partner has C-PTSD. It's definitely one of those experiences that are very hard to articulate. The OCD link also makes perfect sense.
No, you don't sound insane at all. I really do get it.
