Find something that helps you manage your emotions, whether its listening to music, reading a book, or just stepping back and evaluating how you are feeling. That way when the mood swings happen you know what to do to prevent someone from possibly getting hurt.

This is something very common, it happens to me a lot personally. What I usually do in this situation is just say that I am not in the best mood and go take a walk and listen to my favourite music. After I get better I explain to my friends what happened and they understand.

When you feel like you are going to have a episode, a good way to stop what you are doing, start taking deep breaths in and out of your nose, and try some standing meditation. Clear your mind and relax your body, focus on your breathing. Often you will find your self calming down and your feelings under better control

The best way to go about such situations is to simply inform those around you of when your mood takes a dramatic change, subsequently letting them know that they were not the cause of this.

When you feel a mood swing coming on, go to your room and take it out on a journal, or some other inanimate object. Personally, tearing paper up in to shreds is a great way to let it out. If you're at school/work, ask to go to the bathroom or take a break.

Give time to yourself, and please seek professional help. I have major mood swings, but I was given medication by my medical doctor that's helped a lot. Learn how to politely step away from a conversation when you feel yourself getting worked up.

You must know, in your mind, that everyone around you has feelings, and you could end up saying or doing something that they will remember for a long time. That kind of impact on someone shouldn't be on your head.

this happens to me sometimes and it is very disturbing. i usually just try to calm myself by talking to someone who i know can empathize, or just distracting myself by doing things that i can do alone, so as to not be exposed to others :)
