What Are The Signs Of Having Dissociative Disorder?

i have been told by a person with a degree in sociology that i have multiple personality disorder, not bipolar disorder because, i talk about parts of my personality by name, like the slothlady, and the fat girl, i also have a side of my personality that performs on stage yet i am diagnosed with social phobias, i have several different names i go by and each is a different facade to my personality. I do not suffer any memory loss, i know what each facade is doing, it as though i am riding along with them, such as the fat girl, i can feel her scratching to get out, she takes me and drags me to my car and half way to the store by the time i have a craving and i am cramming the debbie cakes in my mouth all the way home like i have no control over my own body, that is how my personalities work for me. is this a form of dissociative disorder?
