I for one have severe mood swings. I'm raging mad one minute and the next I'm all smiles again. I know I just had a baby 7 months ago so that could definitely be why. But I always believed I had some type of mood disorder, maybe bipolar. It's possible that's what you have too. It doesn't mean you're "mental". It's a mental illness yes, but you're not crazy. And it's good that you recognize something isn't right. Most people have to be told over and over again that they're behavior is extreme.

Maybe seeking counseling can help?
