I observe my own moods alot, just for self awareness i guess, and i notice sudden changes of mood. For instance, one moment I'll be content, and then the next I'll just be completely down. I don't think this is like bipolar, becuase it happens within seconds, and I can feel it happening. Today I was bored, kind of disappionted, and watching Law & Order, and during the credits at the beginning, all of the sudden I felt excited and anxious. Seriously, it was within seconds that my mood changed. Sometimes I'll have spontanious moments of happiness. Like someone hit me with it!
I am not looking for a diagnosis, just if it has ever happened to you, but if you do think it is something i'd like to hear your opinion. And if you say "mood swings" i will be embarassed after asking this question.

It could be several different things. I'm assuming you're a girl by your avatar.. so if it only happened on certain times of the month it could be menstration related.. It could also be bi-polar because what you describe is like that. There are many things it could be... the only time to worry about it is if it causes a problem to you.

I know it could be menstrual-related, like a hormonal imbalance. When it's that time of the month, I often notice my mood varies throughout the day, and am extremely sensitive to my surroundings. I wouldn't diagnose it as a disorder or whatnot, until I notice it happens more frequently. If so, then you might want to check that out a doctor. Also, does any of your family members have the same occurences you have?

This can be Bi-polar, the mood swings are not things that take a long time to go through they usually are sudden. You need to see a psychiatrist to see if that is your problem because they have very good medications now days

Hm... I'm not sure, but it certainly could be some sort of chemical imbalance or other situation in your brain. I don't mean to alarm you, but it could even be something like brain cancer, I think. It might be a good idea to see a psychiatrist or neurologist to get yourself checked out.
