It's got me really worried though because I don't want to be bipolar but the "maybe" hanging in the air bothers me.

You really need to have a doctor diagnose you preferably a psychiatrist. They are more knowledgeable and experienced than us and the psychiatrist specializes. IMO, you should never self-diagnose because then you will get caught up in the diagnosis rather than the treatment. It can start off worry and labeling and you might end up living the label which may be inaccurate.
