Is it normal that i go from feeling great to feeling worthless in a few hours?

For a while I've had these mood swings, no idea why, but sometimes I feel great, really happy and satisfied, and then, after getting a comment from a friend that can be interpreted as something negative, my mood just crashes and I feel really depressed. I get it each time I start to feel turned away or disappointed for any reason. Then I feel sad and depressed for a few hours up to a day, and then it's better again. Is this normal?

    hey im in the same boat. there will be days where everything seems ot go just great and i feel on top of the world, and then i'll have a minor fight with my boyfriend or something or i'll receive a comment that i'll take the wrong way or think too much about and then i feel like complete shit. i've been evaluated for depression but never followed through with getting treatment. i think i might actually get help soon.

    I think it's totally normal. Your thoughts affect your emotions. When you think happy thoughts you feel happy, when you have negative thoughts you feel unhappy ;)

    I feel this way all the time. I try to get past it. Instead i just lay there in sadness. Crying and hurting. Then ill just be ok. After about 20minutes to an hour or greater of suicidal thoughts. I wish i could be helped. But now i just deal.

    I'm the exact same way. You probably have depression. It's tough to go from one extreme to another, it sucks :(

    If you aren't on any antidepressants you may want to start. They don't make life perfect, but they can make the mood swings better.
