You might see that your emotions aren't coming out of nowhere or there's no reason for them -finding what triggers your emotions and understanding their meaning might make things less scary and make you better equipped to not get overwhelmed.

Bipolar disorder of any type doesn't usually involve changing moods from one moment to the next in the way you describe above, although it's a common misconception. It might be a good idea to see a doctor to get assessed and help you stabalize your moods. Best of luck.

Thank-you, they aren't really intense I don't feel suicidal although I can get really low, and I don't feel like I could achieve anything as such like I don't feel "I'm on top of the world", just a really great mood most almost always followed by a really sad feeling.
I've thought and can't always figure out what it was almost always its like a wave sometimes there is a plateau mood like all today with "normal" emotions..
I've thought PMS and got some St johns wart.. But felt weird.. Not sure if it was in my head.. So
I tried evening primrose oil.. again felt weird and haven't tried again.
Doesn't seem to go with PMS I recall saying a year back "ARGH I feel so angry I feel I've had PMS for 3 months!"
I had bad experiences on Anti d's and kind of scared of going back on them.
