Yes, mood swings can be common. There are conditions like cyclothymia that are charcterised by mood swings.I find if I'm down i don't want to talk to anyone or do anything, but if I do I feel a lot better.

Someone who suffers from depression doesn't necessarily always feel upset. I've been diagnosed, yet I still have a good time and can forget I have depression alot with my friends and around those I love. I know the "hollow" feeling you're describing -- it's as if you can't be happy to your full extent.
And of course, the depression lingers around somewhere. Sometimes it comes to view, sometimes it's hidden for awhile. :wink:
