Something isnt right and wonder if anyone knows of non DID diagnosis that might fit similar symptoms

Advice/Solutions

I have two separate and conflicting minds where both think differently but there isnt a name difference or personality assiciated with them.

I do believe its possible I had DID when I was younger. I remember out of body experiences, not recognizing myself in the mirror, moments where I was watching someone else control my body and voice, lost time, they had names different perosnalities, we could even talk to each other sometimes (I never told anyone)…. But I dont have any of that now…. Im much older but something Ive had is two conflicting minds….. and both minds think very differently but neither feel like they aren’t mine/me and both control the body, emotions, voice together…… one I feel is autistic. It gets frustrated easily and over whelmed and over stimulated. Its very smart but cant express itself emotionally well. The other also cant express emotions well but is extremely logical and well thought out needs an order of operation and specific way to do things. There is no disassociation both are active and think at the same time and control everything the same time but they still feel like two very separate minds…………… and then I feel some fear. I have heard about how sometimes alters can merge and I wonder and worry maybe two alters have merged and taken control of everything and maybe a true self is long lost to a pair of alters who merged and took over…… I have never been diagnosed with DID but I have experienced symptoms that would fit it and experienced and diagnosed with CPTSD, bipolar, anxiety, personality disorder, depersonalization-derealization disorder (I think I really havent looked at my medical papers in probably 5 years) I dont feel like depersonalization-derealization fits very much though it was used because I had an out of body experience when I was injured badly once and was used because of the experience where I felt like I was watching someone else fully control my body and voice……. I just hate not having answers and now knowing the truth and I want to know if any have had similar experience and if it fits DID considering I dont believe I lose time anymore but I really dont know if maybe its merged alters and then how would I know if Im me or not…… my guess potentially is that I am autistic and from trauma created a protective alter and perhaps we merged as the best way for survival moving forward but I only have the perspective from my view I need someone outside who might be knowledgeable on this type of thing
