Mood Swings, Anxiety and Rage: Is This the Hormonal Storm?

One Moment You’re Fine, Then the Next, You’re in Tears or Screaming

Sound familiar? You're not alone.

Menopause isn’t just about hot flushes and night sweats. For many women, it’s an emotional roller coaster that no one warned us about.

If you’ve ever thought, “What’s wrong with me?” … take a breath. You’re not losing your mind. You’re experiencing the hormonal storm of menopause.

The Science Behind Menopause and Mood Swings

Hormones are powerful chemical messengers and when they shift during perimenopause and menopause, your brain chemistry shifts too.

Estrogen, in particular, plays a huge role in regulating:

• Serotonin (your feel-good hormone)
• Dopamine (motivation and reward)
• Cortisol (stress response)

When estrogen levels drop, mood swings, anxiety, irritability, and even rage can take over.

Common emotional symptoms during menopause:

• Sudden anger or irritability
• Crying spells for no clear reason
• Feeling overwhelmed by simple tasks
• Low motivation or energy
• Anxiety or panic attacks
• Feeling emotionally numb or disconnected

Why This Feels So Intense

Unlike the gradual mood shifts during PMS, menopausal mood swings hit harder and feel more unpredictable. The hormonal decline is not cyclical; it's more like a slow fade or even a sudden crash.

This makes it difficult to “prepare” emotionally or physically.
