I get very intense mood swings, they often come out of now where and end with me doing something irrational. It’s like everything is going fine, I’m pleased, I’m busy, and generally content. Then one small thing comes and knocks everything off balance. I get so angry, and it’s like a little voice pops into my head and says, “snap that pencil,” or, “kick that table,” and I can’t always refuse. I then panic that everyone with hate me, or be scared of me, and I feel very ashamed. I just sink into it till it eventually boils over, and everything goes back to normal again.

What’s the cause and what can I do about it?

I'm that same way. At one point, I even wondered if I was bipolar. My mom quickly shot down that idea.

I wish I knew what you could do about it because I feel the same way! Have either of you been in contact with mental health services? I have a few times but never know what to tell them because it changes so fast. They seem to expect you to feel the same way for weeks at a time.

I feel the same.. I can have up to 20 moods in a single day.. The good fact is that usually I'm not dangerous and I'm not aggresive. But I can laugh from something and 2 minutes after I start to cry.. And after next 10 minutes I feel happy again. Sometimes I feel very motivated and after a while that motivation goes off and I feel depressed. I can't understand why something like this happens. I was feeling bad because of my mood swings, but I have simply accepted them. Acceptance is the key..
