I understand, maybe they can remove that diagnoses it is like you want stop remembering what you learned about it right it (assuming you researched Bipolar)...With DID emotional alters etc getting them out to show it can be the challenge. Who is the judge of this though? Everyone will say something, that is why a shut down is sometimes necessary for my system sometimes. I sometimes want to say something then it comes out in sentences that doesn't make sense or glaring that an alter needs to front to show the emotions but kind of hides...Especially if some of the system is still uncomfortable being out...I don't know it's weird...

This body has automatic mood swings- like clockwork, also taking antidepressants without a stabilizer swings us manic...a dead give away for bipolar disorder. Bipolar moods are actually not emotions, they only appear that way.
Bipolar has genetic causes.
Bipolar depression is actually the physical oppression of the nervous system, and mania is it in overdrive...one just looks happy and sad, when in reality it's the nervous system through the brain that is out of whack. I can get so sick of being manic that I just want to cry and die that lasts for a second because I'm driven to be manic which appears to be very very happy. It really feels insane wanting to be sad or normal but being forced to be super happy where you can't quit smiling and laughing. The bipolar always wins. It affects the others this way, too.
The emotional others still drives us nutty! We are stabile on meds now, so the emotions of the emotional others come shining through like normal. I was experiencing intense sadness through No_One (depression) that wasn't affected by meds because it wasn't a biological depression. If it was bipolar depression, the meds would of brought me out if it and maybe swung me the other way if I took too much.
A lot of times for depression, I can't tell if it's bipolar or an emotional response to a trigger because it all feels the same. Only after the mood or feeling has lifted can I discern which was what.
When it's mania, it's a no brainer because I'm in too good of a mood for no reason and for too long.
When the bipolar moods are swinging uncontrolled, they overpower normal emotions which makes us think the bipolar mood is normal which causes us to do things that we wouldn't normally do because we feel that it's the right thing to do...it's our physical minds lying to us- then throw in a dash of DID...and away we go!
I hope that helps.
