I just feel like I am me. Others apply a label of bipolar to me, with which I can certainly concur; however, i don't feel like it is separate. I just feel like I am who I am, and there is an explanation for why I experience human existence with such extreme intensity. I am not sure that I like it, but I also don't dislike it. I have made peace with the label. What I haven't made peace with is the lack of control. So, I guess my answer is I am not bipolar and I do not have bipolar. I am just me. I understand the categorical label and its usefulness though.
