so i think our barriers have gotten worse like. to the point it feels like a physical memory blockage when trying to define me and who is not me / front. is there a way to help this because it's distressing being basically unaware of my own identity and what my own name even is 90% of the time? also another question related but is this like something common?? like is this something that can be explained past just inability ?? like is there cases of alters just deciding to force u to not know who u even r at times like how some block off memories ? like i just feel really clueless here

first, I would like to say that having identity confusion in the identity confusion disorder is pretty common lol

I don't know if this will help you but in all honesty I think that the majority of my problems early on was constantly trying to interrogate and 'figure out' who I am.

it's more important to get into the habit of noticing "what" you're feeling rather than "who" you are.
