Regardless, this mood condition used to alternate such that the slightest knock to my competence in anything I cared about would make me feel depressed for a matter of hours
The above sounds like something that might be helped by therapy, if you're interested in doing that. Are you acting on your impulses when you're feeling euphoric? Euphoria can be fun, for anyone I suppose, unless it goes bad.
I would think about your quality of life, what you think most needs to be worked on, and seek treatment if you want to accordingly. Maybe you could start with therapy and if that doesn't eventually seem like enough, seek out a psychiatrist for diagnosis and meds. If you feel your euphoria might take a wrong turn, you could go straight to a psychiatrist. Mental illness doesn't go on some sort of record and affect jobs, etc., so I wouldn't worry about that.
