OK.
But, just so you know, you do NOT have to be courteous here and down play your pain. We all understand and actually want to hear it. Not that we want you to have it, but we want you to be able to express it without fear of judgment.
We will believe your pain. We won’t dismiss it. We will relate to it.
I think you should definitely get your thyroid and adrenals checked out. I hope that is the answer for you.
I also think that bipolar is very stress related. The lower your stress the less symptomatic you will be. Also, one can go thru long periods of time without a depressed or a manic (or hypomanic) episode. It just depends on the person, life events, and stress.
Plus, medication can be helpful in management.
I have too, been told that because I am very introspective that I can compensate a lot for my illness.
Good luck.

We all need to get it out there every once and an a while, and this is a great place for it!
Peace!
