I have depression kick me down, then I get really happy, then content, then semi-happy, then depressed, then both depressed and manic (hypomania), then depressed...Within the span of 2 hours sometimes. It varies with mood and time... So, I have no real knowledge of how I'll feel at any given moment. (Bipolar II.)

Someone told me once that depression is suppressed anger, turned into sadness. Get a punching bag and yell a lot? I have no idea if that'd work... But it's an idea. It'd get emotions out.
