I believe that everyone has extreme mood swings at some point in their lives. Whether it’s from stress, ur having a bad day and u can’t stop ur mind from racing to a friends wedding ( or urs), birth of a child, or doing something u really enjoy but rarely have the chance to do it. It’s normal for everyone
