Hyper moods don't always mean bipolar. The key thing to remember is that BP is made up of extreme mood swings; yours don't sound like anything out of the ordinary unless they are unusual for you.

There is a subtype of bipolar disorder called 'cyclothymia', in which mood swings are less severe than in bipolar 1 or 2. You would need to see a mental health care provider to find out for sure what you have, if anything. Believe me, bipolar is a diagnosis you DON'T want.

Please check with your primary care doctor to see if a psychiatric evaluation is right for you. We cannot diagnose you or recommend treatment. Best of luck to you.
