ITT people mentioning bipolar disorder but I would suggest a strong onset of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS).
My only question to you is, when did your menstruations started this month? You don’t have to reply to this.
But look up whether they started the day you were sad, or one day/two days prior.
If it was the case, it is very likely PMS.
Keep a calendar of your cycles and you will know.
Causes of PMS may be one or many, like birth control, undiagnosed depression, a stressful time, etc. etc.

I also had to think of PMDS which is like PMS but with very strong psychological symptoms. My sister got this when her Endometriosis became worse. Doing a thorough check with a doctor would be best.

From the ages of 14-40 next week, I can say hormones have easily had the most affect on my moods than anything else in this life - I am very mood stable in general, but like clockwork I can feel hormones hit and my thought patterns change. I fend off the craziest temporary depression/dark thoughts but once you know what’s happening at least you can sort of laugh at it. But when you don’t know WHY it’s happening, it’s scary as hell.

I’ve had the same experience, though only for about the past 10 years, and at 45 now, it’s more like there’s a single day in any given month where the crazy depression/dark thoughts and rage at the simplest stupid shit occurs, and by now I’m able to stop in the moment and recognize that it’s just temporary, and it always resolves itself in an hour or two. I can’t wait for menopause to hit and for all this shit to be over.
