Schizoid but... Bipolar? IDK.

So. I have 2 specific moods. I know something is wrong with me, but I cannot place it and it's frustrating. I need a label so I have it clearly laid out for myself.

Here's my one mood:
- I want to be social and don't wish to stay inside of the house alone.
- My libido goes through the roof and I'll send nudes to close friends, or invite people over for specific purposes.
- I will want to drink and go out more, a very specific urge to not be alone.
- I'll want to go do stuff, either alone or with others.
- I'll be much more likely to, for example, walk to a grocery store and take my time rather than quickly cycle up and down.
- Much more likely to go see my family and often genuinely enjoy spending time with them.
- I'll want to make new friends and get in touch with people I don't often talk to.

Here's my other, and most prominent mood:
- I hate people and don't wish to have anything to do with them.
- Life sucks but we're here for the ride so deal with it.
- I give very little f***s about anything.
- Bored, I want to stay home but all I'm doing is stuff I've done before.
- Sex doesn't bother me, except for maybe masturbating every once in a while.
- Easily irritated. Since recently also anger, which I don't know how to deal with as I've rarely experienced it.
- I feel superior to the rest of the world because I am not brought down by any issues. I get through everything, I am mentally invincible, people who let themself get affected by small issues are morons.
- I say I feel happy, others describe it as turning manic?
- Desire of putting myself in dangerous situations. Not something that is directly extremely dangerous, but a situation where potentially something bad could easily happen. My favorite is walking through dark forests at night. The reason is that life is boring. I seek a thrill. I seek to prove to myself that I am mentally invincible, and that I could easily brush off something as rape or assault.
- Desire to play with the emotions of others.

I've also accepted long ago that my way out will be by my own hand. However I wouldn't say I'm suicidal. I have no plans to end my life.
How would you label what's wrong with me? I can't name it and it's stressin' me out.

zelfs voor de gespecialiseerde specialisten is het ook gokwerk

May be bipolar but certainly we can't diagnose you based on online posts.
You can talk to a doc about it and check out if mood stabilizers typically prescribed for bipolars help you.
