As your reproductive hormone levels change, your body reacts, and changes in mood can be unpredictable.
At times, these mood changes can cause extreme and sudden feelings of anxiety, patience, irritability, or anger.
Since perimenopause affects all women differently, it is hard to say how rare or common perimenopause rage is.
Feeling anger can be due to certain factors connected to perimenopause.
Serotonin helps control mood and impulse control and since estrogen plays a part in the production of serotonin, as estrogen levels decline serotonin levels are also affected.
Increased stress levels brought on by a loss of sleep and hot flashes can also contribute to moods that are already unstable.
Accept that your body is changing and that you are not to blame for these emotions, as hormonal changes and chemical reactions are at play.

Is a great way of helping to deal with impatience and irritability.
Even just some brisk walking around the block at lunchtime can make quite a difference to how you feel.

Stay hydrated
Dehydration can also make you more susceptible to mood changes.
