Realizing I have DID

Hi, I'm new here. Hello everyone I made an account because very recently, I had come to the realization that I had DID. I've not been diagnosed by anyone other than myself.

My question is this: Can you dissociate as a child and make multiples and have them talking in your head your whole life but never have any names for them or not realize that they are multiples?

I ask this because I've been searching and searching for a reason to my behavior and thought that it was schizophrenia, but I never seemed to fit it completely. I came across DID recently and I am completely sure that what I have is that. I now am making note of when I switch and am realizing time passing and blackouts. I also notice completely different behaviors that I wasn't aware of before, but know it's always been happening. I didn't consciously think about it before when it was happening, but I am also looking back in time to the times those things did happen and I'm sure it's from this.

Since I now recognize them and sort of talk to them (when I'm me. I have trouble being co-conscious when one is in full control), I now have begun to name them to know who is who.

Is it possible for this to happen? To not give them names your whole life, but they were always there, and to finally name them and realize they exist?
