I have severe mood swings. I have days where I feel really sad and every little thing makes me cry, and days when I am mad at the world and I just want to kick and punch things(sometimes I do-usually my steering wheel). There are times when I'm feeling so happy it makes me jump up and down and giggle like a little kid.
If I'm upset about something, it's all I can think about/want to think about/obsess over and the smallest distraction will make me furious. Even the ringing of the phone at work.
I over-analyze things people say to me, to the point of driving myself practically crazy over it.
I am usually quiet and reserved, but at times can be extremely outgoing, talkative and friendly.
When I love someone I devote every ounce of my being to them and feel disappointed and unloved when they aren't willing to do the same.
I really need to figure out what the problem is and how to fix it before I ruin my life with it.

I think you are perfectly normal person with precious insight about the life (even you are not aware about it)
I was like ou 10 years ago, I thought I needed to get a psychiatric treatment, but later found out actually many female in their 20's have similar problem.
The query will continue to most of us, after a marriage, after a baby... as you know, many brides are not really happy on their wedding day even that day "is supposed to" be the happiest day of their lives!
The root of your thirst is coming from your spirit. Women are usually sensitively aware about this problem. But again, it's hard to find a right answer from church or temple, either.
If you like reading, try books by Thit Nat Hahn (can be spelled in many different ways) who is a Vietnamese monk, but he speaks more than Buddhism.
Hope he can guide you the relationship between your happy, inner soul to the troubled, emotional ego - he did to me.
Good luck!

It sounds like you're bi-polar. You should see a doctor.
