I had the exact same emotions after my surgery when I was thrown into an extreme and very early menopause; you will recall my e-mail, Barbara?
I cried every morning in the shower, uncontrollably, for absolutely no reason whatsoever. If anyone looked at me and smiled, I broke out in tears. One time at a Weight Watcher's meeting they asked me a question; I stood up to answer but instead of words coming out of my mouth I broke out in tears, then ran from the room, crying hysterically. How horrible!
It's hormones, Girlfriend! I was sent to U.C.S.F. Medical Center to a OBGYN with specialty in my problem. They put me on estrogen, progesterone, even testosterone. I took pills, patches, and shots.
It took a LOT of trial-and-error to get my hormones under control -- but look at me now! I can actually write this without tears rolling down my face!
I still get headaches occasionally, and I wake up every night with sweats like you wouldn't believe -- my hair dripping wet, my pillow soaked.
And mood swings -- yep, you bet! I don't think it's birth control pills -- I've never taken any -- It's hormones! 
In my next life, I'm coming back as a male.
