I agree you should see a psychiatrist, but...

There are 4 "types" of bipolar disorder: Bipolar 1, Bipolar 2, Bipolar NOS, and cyclothymia. (I hope I spelled that last one right.)

The Bipolar NOS label is used for when you appear to have bipolar disorder, but your symptoms do not fall under Bipolar 1, Bipolar 2, or cyclothymia. In other words, you may have upswings that closely resemble hypomania or mania, but you may not fit the full criteria. However, the upswings cause enough disturbance and are so uncharacteristic of you that they're clearly not normal.

So, I wouldn't worry too much if you don't "fit the classic face of bipolar disorder". There's an NOS category for a reason.

I recommend reviewing the symptoms for bipolar disorder and researching the NOS category. See if this is something that you think describes you, and if you think it does, bring it up with your psychiatrist.

Best of luck
