All I can tell you is my experience. I have bipolar disorder and yes I have had alters that were bipolar also.

my suggestion if this continues to bother you contact your treatment providers they can help you discover whether any of your alters have bipolar disorder too.

Have you asked your therapist if this is possible? It's a good question.
