Answer 1

actually this could be nothing or it could be a form of bipolar illness.  Remember, bipolar is two poles of thought, such as happy/sad, excited/depressed, and your mood changes in a few minutes.  You need to see a psychiatrist to have it properly diagnosed.  Don't worry though, they see it all the time and will be able to tell you the first time they see you if you have it or not.  Most likely though, it can be hormones.

Bipolar disorder (also known as manic depression) is a disease; it is a medical condition that causes psychological problems to such a degree that daily functioning is hampered by the symptoms. The most prominent symptoms include extremes of mood known as depression and mania. These emotional extremes are usually beyond normal responses to events and often last for extended periods of time. Psychosis and suicide are also concerns for those diagnosed with this disorder.

A Layperson's Definition

One textbook definition describes bipolar disorder as "a major affective disorder in which an individual alternates between states of deep depression and extreme elation." This is misleading in that bipolar disorder is much more complicated than just alternating between depression and elation. Bipolar disorder is an illness that affects thoughts, feelings, perceptions and behavior ... even how a person feels physically.

Answer 2

a friend of mine is bypolar. Do you ever get angry for no reason or have thoughts of suicide if so you should tell some one

Answer 3

I can't tell if you're a male or female because you have no picture, but if you're a female, and there's a correlation between these mood swings and your period, then you may have PMDD.

over the course of a year, during most menstrual cycles, five or more of the following symptoms must be present:

depressed mood

anger or irritability

difficulty in concentrating

lack of interest in activities once enjoyed

moodiness

increased appetite

insomnia or hypersomnia

feeling overwhelmed or out of control

other physical symptoms

symptoms that disturb social, occupational, or physical functioning

symptoms that are not related to, or exaggerated by, another medical condition

Answer 4

if your a teenager its hormones...

if not, you may be nuts.
