Rage, Mood Swings & Tears: Emotional Rollercoasters in Perimenopause


Listen Later

Have you ever found yourself snapping at loved ones over tiny things, crying unexpectedly, or feeling like an emotional stranger in your own skin? That perimenopausal emotional rollercoaster is real, valid, and completely rooted in biology, not weakness.

Many women suffer silently through mood swings and rage outbursts during perimenopause, wondering what's wrong with them or their relationships. The truth? Nothing's wrong. Your body is undergoing a dramatic hormonal rewiring that directly impacts your brain chemistry. Those oestrogen fluctuations (sometimes occurring hour to hour) affect serotonin levels, while declining progesterone removes your natural calming influence. Add in sleep disruptions and chronic stress, and you've got the perfect recipe for an emotional storm.

The good news? You don't have to white-knuckle through this transition. This episode unpacks practical, evidence-based strategies to bring emotional balance back into your perimenopausal life. From stabilising blood sugar (those "hangry" moments are more connected to hormone fluctuations than you might think) to supporting your nervous system with deep breathing and magnesium supplementation, you'll discover accessible tools for immediate relief. Learn why prioritizing sleep quality, establishing calming routines, and—perhaps most importantly—giving yourself permission to say "no" more often are game-changing approaches during this time.

Whether you're personally navigating perimenopause or supporting someone who is, this episode validates the emotional experience while providing concrete solutions for reclaiming stability and calm. Remember, just because mood swings are common doesn't mean suffering is required.
