Hi peaches, I would not ask to have the diagnosis recorded if you are getting therapy paid for already.

I relate to being so high functioning that my own DID diagnosis doesn't make sense. In fact, I have recently had a big come apart with my therapist over this because I no longer even think I have DID--there is literally no sense or evidence of it in my view--but she says I do and doesn't think I can do well if I try therapy by ignoring it. I didn't ask her, but it seemed that she has seen and experienced enough about me to cause this belief. On my end, I no longer see it and can't even grasp how it was I have been doing DID treatment for the past year and a half.

I came here today to see if there was anyone who had been diagnosed and treated for DID and then suddenly believe that it was a wrong diagnosis, so I apologize for bringing it into your post. But I think it speaks to the confusing nature of DID, especially for those who, as my therapist puts it, place a high value on functioning. I would cut off a limb in order to keep life running smoothly, if need be.

In other words, I think it's normal to question and good to question. The main thing is finding out what kind of treatment works for you, and if it's based on DID, then that's what matters most.
