Hi aklittle, I'm no doctor but I am BP2 and this sure sounds like bipolar to me. Your doctor should definitely NOT dismiss these experiences, whether your family does or not. If you're worried about talking to your doctor, maybe print out your post and take it in for them to read?
I wish you all the luck in the world, and I'm glad you're wanting to get help at such a young age. I was 43 before I got help, and 58 before I was correctly diagnosed (long story). Anyway aklittle, good luck-- and welcome to the forums! You'll find a lot of support and good people here.
all the best,
Randy
