In my experience, emotional responses or mood changes are like the gauges in my car. When I experience a subtle or dramatic change - it's similar to a "low fuel" or "check engine" light coming on in my vehicle. The emotion or mood change is my notification system to do a check and perhaps engage in a little (or a lot) of self care.
I'll usually begin with basics. Am I hungry, tired, stressed, stretched too thin, is a noise or smell bothering me, etc. ? Then move to more specific questions - Did something trigger a memory of a similar event, am I unhappy because I'm trying to solve someone else's problem, am I in a stressful situation & can I take a 5 minute breather and inventory what just happened?
Whatever the scenario calls for, I adjust immediately if I can, or make a plan to get what I need in order to be on the path to happy again.
Mood swings or emotion changes are more common than we might realize. I've also found that acknowledging and adjusting are pretty important - and extremely helpful.

I personally believe emotional ups and downs are an essential part of life. Everyone on this planet has to go through great moments and also very terrible ones, and then we learn from them. We would not know what happiness is if we've never been sad, and we would not grow to be stronger if we've never had to overcome an obstacle. It's ok to cry and feel unhappy, because just like good moments aren't eternal, bad moments will pass too. :) The key is to try as best we can to pick ourselves up after being sad and enjoy every single moment of happiness we get.

If you're like me who feels that more bad things happen than good, you may suddenly be unhappy when a something good occurs because you're worried that it might not last as you want it to. Sometimes this general feeling also happens when I get the anxious feeling that it's possible that I can never be this happy again or that this moment can never be the same once it's done or gone.

That's tough, I experience this myself. It's strange how emotions can change so rapid, but I always try to remember that the happy moment will come back! One day, the unhappy moment will stop invading!

Everyone wants to be happy and no one wants to be unhappy. Just think that there is nothing like unhappiness exist. So how do we know we are happy? It's just a state of mind. Whenever I feel Happy or Unhappy I just remind myself this is just temporary, next moment could be different. So there is nothing to worry.

There could be a lot of reasons why. Such as bipolar depressive disorder or just something that put you over the edge. Just pick your chin up.

Well, I've come to find what makes me happy is contentment. That contentment turns into something more I want in my life, which then makes me sad. So, I am configuring that happy moments isn't a sad time and being unhappy is always something you can change by having the courage to change it.

Life is full of ups and downs. It is common for things to change and our moods to flux. If you are troubled by this and it is something recent you might want to think about consulting an expert.
