hi
i have a friend who is bi-polar, she goes from extremely high mania and excitement to really bad closing herself in the house depression. she has these episodes lasting from a few months at a time for each one.
perhaps you could have mood disorder?
or it could just be anxiety- one of the symptoms are mood swings anyway.
hope this helps

we are all stronger people after having this

hmm I have mood swings sometimes. I get angry randomly. but I've been getting better at managing it. I think I should be in theropy again. it helped last time. and I became genrally more happy

I don't know much about bi-polar but I know that many people have triggers some of which can mean they suffer from things more prominently at certain times of day/week/season etc.

Certainly for me I will have times where I feel ok, times where I feel particularly good, and times when I feel really bad not necessarily for any intrinsic reason in terms of something tangible and immediate but obviously below the surface.

Loneliness can definitely exacerbate things if you're feeling depressed because if you feel you can't help yourself and there's no-one else there...
