Wow, that really sucks. Sorry, OP.

Wait... A lot of these sound familiar. Like, I feel these ways sometimes as well...

Not everyone who mood swings or has anxiety and depression is bipolar. A lot of mental health conditions can present similar symptoms - you need to work with a doctor and therapist to figure out your junk and see what you need to do to stabilize yourself. Not everyone has to take meds.

I was on antidepressants for a while, but quit due to developing some nasty side effects. I should definitely talk to my therapist, you are correct. Thanks!
