In both cases, the problem stems from a general lack of drive, chronic laziness, chronic "feel sorry for myself" syndrom; almost all brought on by parents who treated their kid like the centre of the universe instead of teaching them life values.
As I said before, I cannot make a blanket generalization of all "bi-polar" cases but from my own experience, those 2 cases were simply a medical cop-out for inherit laziness and a general attitude of jacka$$edness. However, I find these days the medical community in general (who for some reason seems to be immune to critisizm) seems to want to define everything by a disorder, or disease, or deficiency in some sort of cellular or genetic makeup.
Sometimes things are exactly the way they look. The fact is some people are just f'd up and they cannot be defined or explained.

Must be windy up on that high horse.
The good news for you is this: only stupidity is permanent. Ignorance can be temporary, if you'll allow it to be.
