Sounds more like some form of depression than bipolar disorder.

Bipolar doesn't have as much to do with mood swings as much as it does with being neurologically manic (higher than normal energy, thought processes moving so fast you can't necessarily keep track of them, increase in hedonistic tendencies, etc) or depressed (lack of energy/lethargy, loss of interest, and possible bouts of sadness)

I'm bipolar 2 which doesn't have intense of swings as bipolar 1, but I'm often sad when I'm manic since it doesn't necessarily correlate to mood, but the mood will often go with the state of mind. Also, manic/depressive cycles can last week's to months which is another common misconception. Fast or multiple mood swings throughout the day is more likely a case of borderline disorder.

Some info might be wrong, I only completed 3/4 of my behavioral psych major.
