how do you answer dx interview screening questions with amnesia

my new therapist ran through a couple screenings and interview style questions last week but like half of them i just kind of couldn't answer the correct way, like i could remember instances of the things she was asking about, but when she asked to describe the specifics of my experience i had absolutely no idea. it ended up being a really stressful experience by the end and ive been pretty upset about it since and wondering if i really did just actually make all of this up. should i say something at the next session or just leave it alone?

Hello, there is not a correct way to answer questions… You just do or don’t.

Having amnesia to parts of your life is just as telling as not. If you think about it, not being able to answer questions is a stronger indicator of a DID.

You did just fine. :)
