Midlife is a stressful time, and losing the fight-or-flight-dampening effect of estrogen and progesterone really doesn’t help. Women find themselves have strong emotions and “losing control” in menopausal rage more often, resulting in guilt and damaged relationships. We strongly suggest you be as open as you can with about your anger issues in menopause with your intimates (partner, kids, friends) and at work, if it is a safe place to do so. The rage checklist has ideas for calming yourself in the moment, like remembering all your school teachers in order or shifting your stance to a less hostile posture.
Why am I so angry all the time?
