I'd like to know. I typically associate them with Borderline Personality Disorder, but I have both.

I have this constantly it feels like whiplash. My doctor said it’s wasn’t unusual but not used as really diagnosis criteria like the other mood issues- actual episodes associated with bipolar are. I’m not sure how normal it is for bipolar though.

It really depends on which kind you have. The best thing to do is track your moods and any triggers you notice and speak to your doctor.
