Sometimes I guess it takes a while for pdocs to figure out what is really going on. My first diagnosis was paranoid/disorganized (had symptoms of both) schizophrenia. Then I got my current pdoc and he first diagnosed me MDD w/ psychotic features and just recently he came to the conclusion that I was BP I. Personally I think these things evolve over time too, you know like it kind of develops so I guess it is normal for diagnoses to change. I really don't care, in a sense, what the diagnosis is, as long as I am getting help for it, but having one does help in a way because it is easier to find the right group of people to reach out to. Praying that all goes well with you.
