I agree with Nessa that seeing a new pdoc may give you the opportunity to start from scratch, get a fresh perspective, reevaluate things.
You seem to be questioning the diagnosis partly due to anxiety/depression and frustration, but the important thing is that you get the help you need. If the anxiety needs to be addressed more (and you as well as your pdoc are suggesting this), then maybe finally you will get the help you need. Bipolar disorder is so hard to diagnose... Certainly being very anxious can be very activating, cause insomnia, hyperactivity, distractibility, all kinds of things that can mimic hypomania.
Do you have a therapist -I've forgotten from past posts? If you do, as she/he would probably know you best, what has she/he said as far as your diagnosis? If you're in therapy, has it helped at all with the anxiety?
I'm sorry you're going through all this turmoil.
