😤 Irritability in Perimenopause: The Unexpected Symptom No One Talks About
One minute you’re fine, the next you’re snapping over something small. Sound familiar? Sounds like me at times!
Irritability and sudden mood swings are incredibly common during perimenopause. As estrogen and progesterone fluctuate, so do brain chemicals like serotonin, which affect your ability to stay calm and centered.
Add poor sleep and daily stress, and it’s no wonder you feel like a fuse ready to blow.
What helps:
-
Daily movement to release tension
-
Deep breathing or mindfulness apps
-
Talking with a therapist or trusted friend
You’re not “too emotional.” You’re responding to real changes. And you’re not alone.
