Welcome and thank you for sharing your story.
It's so complex, it's hard to say (aside from none of us being professionals in this) what's going on. I really hope that you will see a psychiatrist for an evaluation and get the help you need. Therapy may be helpful as well.
In preparation for your appointment, you could keep a mood log (you don't have to use labels like 'manic' or 'depressed', it may be more helpful to describe how you feel, i.e. sad, angry, hopeless, scared, anxious, etc.), how long they last, and what triggers/precipitates them. And if this doctor doesn't have direct access to your old medical records, it would probably be a good idea to bring them with you.
I'm glad you're seeking help. You have so much going on, I so hope you get the help you need.
