Hello Marie

 

So you are worried that you have Dissociative Identity Disorder?

 

I have read that this is pretty rare and you would definitely need a professional to diagnose this disorder. 

 

Is it possible that you are sleep walking/talking or else having some sort of seizure?  I am just throwing out other possibilities.

 

Here is an article about Dissociative Identity Disorder where it details how one is diagnosed.

 

If you are really concerned about this I would seek the help of a therapist.  Hope this helps some and thank you for your question.
