Bipolar or something else?

I suffer from anxiety disorder, and went to see a psychiatrist after my stress and panic attacks caused heart palpitations. The psyciatrist told me that based on some questions that I answered, that I have "bipolar tendencies". He did not diagnose me with bipolar, but put me on abilify along with the Pristiq and Xanax that I was already taking, and gave me Lunesta to sleep at night. I started reading up on bipolar, and here are some of the things that I have noticed about myself.

I suffer from obsessions, and really silly ones, like I will focus on a cell phone, and I must have that particular one, or I will not be satisfied. Once I get what I want, then I usually end up thinking it was a mistake. I also have the same problem with animals. I love animals and they are my comfort, so I will become obsessed with getting a particular animal (right now it is a cockatiel) and it's like an obsession that I must do. All of my animals are very loved parts of the family, but afterward, I wonder if I made a mistake because of course it takes a little bit of time away from my current pets or my children. Its the same with shopping too. Sometimes there is something that I want that I have to have, or I will go on a rampage and buy 10 pairs of shoes in a month. Then dont wear all of them. I have a short temper sometimes, cannot manage money, am constantly worried about whether I am doing a good job at work, or whether I am being a good wife or mother, and I am selfish, for example, if sometimes, if I am sitting on the sofa watching tv, and one of my 2 kids come up and want to play or do something, I prefer to just watch TV. Sometimes I will make myself stop and do something with the kids. I am constantly worried about what other people think about me, or if I say something stupid or if people are talking about me.

Basically, it's like I have obsessions, and when I have them, its almost impossible to stop. I changed jobs beause my previous job was so stressful, so I dont have any health insurance right now, so I cant go back to the dr. I am only on Pristiq and occasionaly xanax right now, because abilify gave me horrible side effects.

I really want to know if I am actually bi polar and maybe I need to go back to the psyc or if there is something else going on with me?
