I'll start by saying that these are just my opinions, I am by no means a professional!
I don't think someone can just "not have Bipolar anymore". Perhaps what you meant to say was, you haven't experienced the symptoms in awhile? Either way, the way you are describing your symptoms leads me to think you don't have Bipolar. Either that, or a very mild form. Grandiose thinking does not equal Bipolar Disorder. And when I had my grandiose thinking during my manic episodes, I would never have even thought of coming to this site, to ask people who I assumed were "lower" than me, for help! So yours doesn't seem that bad.
Furthermore, you seem too quick to label yourself. Please know that other mental illnesses (such as Borderline, which I mentioned in my first post) can have quite a few of the same symptoms as Bipolar Disorder.
dijmart is right, we cannot "think" our way out of Bipolar symptoms when they are severe, which tends to be most of the time. Most of the time, medication is required. The few times I have tried beating this without meds ended up in hospitalizations.
