suicidal while manic?

This may sound stupid to ask but I have bipolar one and everyone I know has bipolar two so I feel rather isolated having such bad manic episodes.

I wanted to ask do other people with bipolar one get suicidal during their episodes? I rarley feel suicidal when I'm depressed but when I'm manic I almost always have a bout of bad suicidal ideation for a day or two. I tell my psychiatrist when I'm suicidal and she seems to see it as always a side effect of just depressive episodes.
