That is the first question I asked Dr. W. when she confirmed my dx of Bipolar 1 Disorder. "But how can I really have Bipolar Disorder when I'm sleepy a lot of the time?"
She told me that one can be in a manic state (even a manic psychosis) and still require sleep. That is especially true if you are taking meds. Were it not for the meds, you might not be sleepy, or as sleepy.
The sleep thing is but one symptom of Bipolar Disorder.
btw, the severe anxiety you're experiencing has been going on for a few days.
