Yeah, it's hard for drs to diagnose BP when someone's been using.

It sounds like you might have BP though if you recall having mood swings, depression etc.. I was able to manage my BP fairly well without meds... until it grew worse over the years. (Symptoms started at 11 yrs old and I didn't seek help until I was 24... because that's when it got really bad.)

You don't have to have a lack of sleep in order to be considered "manic". Decreased need for sleep is just one of the many symptoms of mania. You only need to meet like 3 of the 7 DSM-V symptoms for mania. In fact, some people have very energetic manias but get a normal amount of sleep.

Have you thought about ADHD if you have hyperactivity? ADHD and BP look similar. It's possible you have something like MDD + ADHD if you don't have BP. ADHD has emotional dysregulation.
