You're facing some difficult issues, eina. I have bipolar II, and it took me a while to accept the diagnosis. Once I did though, and got on the right combination of meds, my life improved dramatically. I'm stable for the first time in 40 years. My hypomanic episodes did not have the agitation yours do, but I don't struggle with anxiety. From your overall description of your mood experience, I'd say you most likely do have bipolar II. Four different doctors seem to agree. Maybe you could give meds a try and see how they work for you? If they do, great. If not, nothing ventured nothing gained.
