I have been to therapy with some pretty perceptive psychologists.
I have never suffered time losses consistent with DID. I've never forgotten how I got somewhere, or where I got something, and I've never been addressed by any other name.
The only time I was ever told I behaved in a way I couldn't remember was when I had been drunk -- I stopped drinking two years ago, and no longer get told that.
Additionally, my sexual abuse, while troubling to me, wasn't of the level of repetition and severity that is associated with DID.
As I said before -- I can remember the instances when I've met the person, just not the person. I can often repeat our conversation back to them fairly accurately, but I always appended it with the question, "that was you?"
I read once that emotional connection plays a part in your memory of people, and perhaps it's a lack of an emotional connection that hampers my remembering them?
