You may be depressed but being bipolar would mean you are up all night sometimes with grandiose thoughts and excitement then sleep for the next few days wanting to die. It would have to be rather extreme for that sort of diagnosis. Sounds to me as though you have insecurities, low self esteem and abandonment issues. I would see your Doctor and ask to be referred to a therapist/psychologist/counselor for a formal diagnosis. Sometimes all it takes is for you to deal with the happenings of the past which affect your present mindset. Things that happen now are triggered by (reactions and actions) your past.

I probably depends on the severity of the bipolar disorder. I have been diagnosed and I can tell you that it is not easy by any means, but there are many ways to help stabilize the effects and not just drugs either. You can get regular exercise, that is good for every one, and keep a regular sleep schedule. General health practices are always sure to help blunt the effect of these kinds of things, unless they are very severe, if you are not already doing them. From the sounds of it your case is not unusual and is probably sharpened by feeling lonely. The only cure for that is what mother of peace said.
