In short, when those mood changes are cyclical, unstable and possibly seasonal over time, it's probably a disorder. Sometimes we can't see it because of... well... the disorder.
If you're unsure because of your dads statements when you were first diagnosed, I would ask other people (friends, family, therapist) about it. "Do you think I'm bipolar and if so, why?" It might help you find clarity on your condition or give voice to a need for a second opinion.
