See your doctor : You need to be evaluated by your doctor. You are describing mood swings which can be due to a mood disorder such as Bipolar Disorder or a personality disorder. Substance abuse can also trigger this. Some medications can also cause this. See your doctor for an evaluation or a referral to a psychiatrist.
