I can only speak for myself when I say that what I experience seems to fit with my bipolar 2 diagnosis and was one of the reasons I got the diagnosis. I get other manifestations too, like feeling extremely negative, hyper-critical/negative against myself and others, but at the same time being hypersexual. It's a very odd combination and certainly not a way to get someone close to you (intimately) by being such a b***** but I can't control it when it happens like that.
Getting out of it? For me it usually passes in a couple of days. Taking good care of myself: proper eating, good sleep hygiene, communicating about my needs, putting myself somewhere on the priority list all go a long way in helping. Distraction such as watching comedy or reading a book (being alone) helps too. Mine will just pass by itself. Usually I tell my family to look out for me today, "it's not your fault, Mommy is just really grumpy today, I can still try to talk nice though" but I will growl for sure. LOL
Good luck figuring out your situation. Mine is a tentative diagnosis as well.

You are wise to stay put in the room and leave others alone while you are feeling like this. Wisdom! I hope your food stamp card arrived... did it?
