I'm not very articulate at present (thoughts are disjointed) so bear with me as I attempt to get my thoughts across clearly and concisely...

Bipolar mood swings are not a unique otherworldly experience, (bear with me, I'm getting to it) mood fluctuations are part of the basic human condition.

Please note that I am focusing on mood and not psychosis or any other bipolar symptoms in my reply.

Bipolar is labelled a disorder, because for an as yet unproven reason, our mood fluctuations become extreme and cause disorder in our lives and minds.

What am I getting at?

Of course we're going to see a little (or a lot) of ourselves in other labels, just like many people who come on here thinking they have Bipolar due to a b or c.

Those conditions, be it Axis 1 or 2 aren't unique alien experiences or behaviours, but they're only labelled if and when they cause disorder.

So no, I don't think its a bipolar thing, IMO its a plain and simple human thing.
