Ugh, we've been in a major downer mood for days, and we've been taking extra anti-d that had no effect.

It wasn't till a second ago that I realized who it felt like....No_One, then the depression lifted right up. He was bleeding through!, blending, whatever you want to call it.

We has so many of us that we don't know who is showing at times. Does that ever happen to you?

It's happen in the past, not being able to figure if it's a mental or physical action, until it dawns on you that an others essence is bleeding through.

It's like "pardon me, but your mood is showing..." then "oooops I'm sorry" then things instantly change...it's a new day.

At times like these I question the bipolar DX all ready to quit taking meds. It does makes me wonder though.

yup happened to me, in me my treatment providers called it the integration process where what was the alters was blending in\joining together with me.

when in doubt what symptoms problems belonged to what disorder that I had I would contact my treatment providers and we would have some sessions discussing and working out the problem.

my suggestion when this happens again contact your treatment providers, they will help you figure things out so that you dont have to do it on your own.

I've recognized the automatic mood cycles to be bipolar, and that the mood changes are oppressive in nature- forced, numbing and physical like an elephant sitting on me.

Moods from others are different feeling. If there is a lot of head chatter going on at the same time, it's usually a moody other presenting, version, or what ever.

It's only the depressed state because nobody is manic as normal- that's strictly bipolar.

Being co-con, there is no telling who or what it is.

I don't claim to understand Bipolar, but it seems like to me the only difference is that I hold my emotions in really well. Since, I'm healing I'm starting to show them or describe them more and more....I'm really really an inner system as far as talkative I don't have relationships...I wondered that as well how does on go about that has Bipolar with DID. 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.

My pdoc says that some parts can have a mental illness that the others don't share. I think that is true for me.
I too have to shut down sometimes and people don't like it. If they only knew...

True that! A few of us is borderline, others narcissistic, a couple are ADD, but genetically we're bipolar affected.
