Signs of dissociative identity disorder?

Generally speaking, self diagnosis is bad, but what would be signs for someone with DID to realize they had this disorder? They are known to be unaware but I have heard stories of people realizing themselves through strange occurrances. Can anyone give me some general signs or symptoms aside from amnesia?Signs of dissociative identity disorder?
The general symptoms of Dissociative Identity Disorder, also known as multiple personality disorder, are a haunted confused personality and the causes are traumatic experiences such as childhood abuse. They usually have strong and conflicting desires/needs in their life. It is thought that people who honestly have this disorder have their "personalities" somewhat dependent on each other, but I do not think they realize they are the same person. They think they are all different people with however many personalities they have. Sometimes, though, the stronger personality may know about the weaker one. But the weaker rarely knows about the stronger. Hope this helped.
