Is it normal that i've got "bi-polar" self esteem?

I feel that i have average looks. I'm 5'7" 120Lbs, so i guess i have an alright body. My problem is, i go from feeling great about myself one minute to criticizing every aspect of my body until i literally just break down and cry about 'how hideously deformed i am' the next. I realize it's a ridiculously shallow and petty thing to get so worked up over, but i cant help it. I wallow in self-loathing and, basically, it sucks. I highly doubt this is normal =\

    You just need to realize you are perfect the way you are and come to that realization that society makes us think we all have to be perfect to its standerds not our owne. Just keep a positive attatude about yourself.

    it's possible that you might have a problem..i don't know enough about your life./but if tis kind of emotional thing goes on alot and for much longer you might want to consider looking into the possibility that you might be bipolar or depressive.or maybe even just have chronic anxieties.if you get depressed frequently due to simple things or for no reason you'll want to find out why by seeking counseling of some kind cause getting worse is not a good option...take care

    I'm the same way. One day I think I look like a fat slob but the next day I feel hot. I think it's just pressure to feel that we need to look a certain way. The real challenge is mentally being ok with ourselves when physically we are fine. Easier said then done!!
