Angel everything you posted can be so many different things. the symptoms of DID are shared with many different medical and mental problems, like you have already found out what you posted about can be bipolar disorder. it can also be so many other things. even something as simple as not getting enough sleep can cause dissociative symptoms.

the best thing you can do for yourself is keep in mind this can be many things including DID and go get a psych eval with a psychiatrist. in another posting you asked how to do that.. its real easy to do. your profile says you live in montana. just pick up the phone and call your primary care physician (medical doctor) tell them you would like a referral to a psychiatrist for an evaluation for mental disorders. tell them if you have insurnace and which one. the medical doctor puts the paperwork through and anywhere between next week and next month you will have the name of a psychiatrist that your insurance will cover that does psych evals for all mental disorders. then you call that number/psychiatrist and schedule your evaluation.

if you cant do this on your own tell your medical doctor and they will do a referral and appointment setting for you. you can also have your present therapist put in the referral and appointment setting for you, so can a case manager if you have one. in montana they also have staff psychiatrists at the therapy agencies you can see to go through testing.

if you dont have insurnace montana has a social services program that can get you evaluated through that. here is their website you can find any numbers you need here http://www.dphhs.mt.gov/contactus/hu...services.shtml

just call which ever location fits where you are and they can help you apply for state assistance and help you get set up with a psychiatrist in your location who can do diagnostic testing to see if whats happening to you is in fact DID instead of bipolar disorder, PTSD or any other mental problems that my mimic DID symptoms.

please dont do yourself a disservice and cause yourself more stress than you already have by trying to fit yourself into a mental disorder that you may not even have.

one of my clients tried to do that and it turned out her dissociative symptoms were from a rare cancer and anemia. because she went on what she thought was DID and didnt bother with consulting medical and mental health providers she is now dead. her life could have been saved had she not read herself into believing and consulting people on line who told her yes she has DID,

we cannot tell you what your problem is.

we cannot tell you what you are experiencing is DID.

all we can tell you is what those symptoms were in us and people we knew and tell you to consult mental health providers in your off line location.

bottom line what you posted could be any number of things google your symptoms and you will find millions of millions of things your symptoms are.

you have been diagnosed bipolar go on that until a mental health provider in your off line location tells you differently. see your medical doctor and a psychiatrist for a new updated evaluation then you will know.

I would hate to find out someone here at psych central died because they believed what people on line tell them instead of consulting their own doctors and mental health providers in their own areas off line.

I know a lot of psych central members are tired of hearing me say the same thing over and over again - your symptoms fit all kinds of things not just DID, we cant tell you what you have please consult your treatment providers. but theres a reason I do so. I have gone through losing someone because they believed what was on the internet instead of consulting their own treatment providers. Its a horrible feeling and a good person was lost from this world. I wont stand by and let that happen again. I know I cant prevent it, people are going to talk themselves int mental disorders if they want to or need to but this is one woman that is not going to be part of that wagon.

please contact your treatment providers. go through the testing. you will save yourself so much stress and heartache and will gain answers to what is going on inside of you.
