Please, does anyone have anything to share? I'm tired of reading textbook symptoms lists & not getting any answers/feedback from my doctor. Thank you!

I get a similar feeling, but when I was manic. I had to scream and y ell and yet society told me I should not so I didn't. The cut-off feeling happened when I took anti-depressants: I was totally emotionally numb. Emotions just did not exist for me. It was very odd, but strangely comforting.
I think you should explain your feelings in detail to your doctor. Textbooks aren't always that helpful. There are other books out there that relay experiences of being bipolar in a first-person account that you might relate to more. I, myself, keep a blog about being bipolar, but you might not completely relate as I'm bipolar 1, not 2.
