I know we talk about mood swings a lot here, but I feel like we are generally talking about going from "0 to 60" as it were.  That is, from happy/content to angry/sad.  Or even angry to sad and vice versa.  But does anyone else go from angry to content in no time flat, as well?

I have found that when my SO and I argue, and I realize I'm wrong/over-reacting/it was a misunderstanding or something of that similar nature... I go from angry to calm very quickly.  I'm not sure if it's just a fear of abandonment kicking in, but I apologize and feel horrible.  He continues to be angry and won't just accept my apology... he needs time, space, whatever.  And then I swing back to 60 and I'm either infuriated or irreparably sad that he is holding the argument we just had 30 seconds ago against me.

But for that brief moment going back down to 0, I feel like I have control of my emotions.  It makes me think that I had successfully calmed myself down but now I'm wondering if calm is just another emotion I can't control that I swing to from time to time.

DAE experience something similar?
