Hum for me my moods stay the same for a long time e.g. I am depressed for several months I am high for several weeks I am stable for a while!
However, it is not abnormal for your moods to change during the day as maybe something has happened during the day.
I think what I would say is stop thinking is this bipolar is this me being weird because you will drive yourself mad :p!
A diagnosis of a mental illness is not straight forward generally and may well take your psychiatrist months or even years before they come up with a semi definate answer. Bipolar has at least 3 branches to it (1,2, and cylothmia) and within these there are things like rapid cycling. Borderline personality disorder shares a number of characteristics of bipolar, heck even unipolar depression can be mistaken for bipolar and vice versa.
I guess what I'm saying it try not to second guess yourself and seek help principally for the symptoms you are experiencing because a label won't change them
