I get this. Really, I spend a lot more time depressed than I do hypomanic/manic. A LOT more. Its not uncommon. In fact, I read one article where it said that with bipolar 1 people spend 10 times as much time depressed as they do manic/hypomanic. And with bipolar 2 it is 40 times as much time depressed as hypomanic on average.

Its different for everyone but I think people dont realize that actually- it isnt CONSTANTLY up and down- there IS time in between where you are just... in the middle. Not everyone experiences mania/hypomania the same way. There are some who instead of getting euphoric get dysphoric/have mixed episodes. Some get really excited, some get really agitated. Really, there are all sorts of different episodes.

Look them up. Bipolar terms. Mixed episodes. Dysphoric mania. Agitated depression. Rapid cycling. Some think anxiety can be a symptom of bipolar disorder. There are all sorts of good articles. No one here can diagnose you, but you CAN prepare yourself, learn about it, so you can have better prepared questions for your next appointment.

Heres some really interesting bipolar research, some lesser known things about the disorder instead of just the list of impersonal extremes yoj get other places
