You may have Bipolar or emotional disorder/condition. Usually being positive, maybe taking some herbal supplements can help. Try to figure out when your mood swings happen, if there are triggers and avoiding them or finding ways to better cope and express your emotions.

Write. Write. Write. Is my way of managing my mood swings. Breath. Or even mediation is also good to learn how to deal with the mood changes.

communication is key, Explain what happens and then no one will be surprised/negatively impacted by your mood swings.

This sounds ridiculous, I am sure, but turn everything into a joke. That's what I do, I make everything funny, make jokes, seeing people laugh takes away my anger as soon as it happens. whenever I feel I'm getting angry I will bring out my inner clown.

The best way to manage them is actually prevention, in the sense that you must come to know yourself and your triggers. When you feel a swing coming on or right when you realize you may be in a swing, you must distance yourself from the situation. Have your friends and family know that when you say "Pause" or another codeword, you must leave and will come back when you are ready. This and a good diet free from alcohol and drugs will help to control the mood swings.

Whenever I had big mood swings I would write about it. I have a diary and it really helps me manage how I feel on a regular basis. I have been able to find patterns in my behavior and my journal has answered a lot of questions about why I do things. The more I explored my emotions in my journal, the easier it was to control them.

By thinking before you speak.By practicing patience. Taking deep breaths to calm down. By keeping your voice tone low.

Telling others about this can really help this situation because, if you have a mood swing and the person is aware that this is something you're struggling with, then he or she can come to terms with whats happening, instead of being offended, for example. I can imagine that it must be tough for you because you don't want anyone to judge you or for you to hurt anyone, and I do have a lot of sympathy for you. If you ever feel like things are getting a bit difficult, maybe there is something your Doctor can help you with, and although they may not be a counsellor, it can also give you a person to talk to. I wish you all the best :)
