It sounds like you're describing some grandiose thinking and especially a lot of impulsivity. You could be labeled with any number of things. Since it's so complicated, pdocs I think do tend to reply -when it comes to bipolar- on how often and how long when it comes to moods.

You could go for a second opinion (and if you do this, or even stay with the same one, I would do some mood charting while being as specific as possible as to your experiences, triggers, how long they last, etc.) -or you could stay with this one and just give it some time for him to get to know you and you to get to know yourself better (are you in therapy?). Many pdocs just don't want to make such a devastating diagnosis before they've gotten to know you better. It may just take some time to figure things out. Best of luck!
