To be constantly fuming

I honestly feel like I'm in a permanent state of raging PMS. Everything annoys the hell out of me. I hate my job and I feel like I just want to fly off the handle at the slightest little thing. By way of an example someone in a Chelsea tractor drove in front of me and took my parking space and I just stuck my middle finger up at her which I know is a terrible example to my daughter who was sat (mortified) in the car. I used to be quite a calm person. Everyone around me annoys the hell out of me from my family to work colleagues. The only people I don't feel like swearing at constantly are my partner and daughter. I don't think it's normal to feel like this. It used to be once a month but now it seems to last at least three weeks in every four and it's really affecting my life. I went to the gp who carried out a hormone test and said I don't have a hormone imbalance. I just don't know what to do with all this anger.

I have been taking b6 once a day and evening primrose oil 1000mcg 3 x day for the past 6 months. It has made a huge difference to my moods and it lessened breast tenderness as well.
Maybe that's an option for you. Obs ask your GP but worth a try.

There is a supplement in H&B which contains magnesium, B6 and many other nutrients. Can't remember the name of it, it's quite expensive but one pack lasts 3 months. You take one @ day and I found it really helped. Just remembered, it's Magnesium OK.

Domani yes I take Magnesium as well, you just reminded me. So OP, I take all 3 together.

I suspect perimenopause. Testing your hormone balance isn't really a great way to test, because it can be the hormone fluctuations which wouldn't show up in tests unless they tested you continuously for awhile.

You can get some extra estrogen into you by increasing your intake of estrogen rich food:
Seeds: Flax seeds, Sesame seeds
Soy Products: Soy beans, Soy Milk, Soy Yogurt, Tofu
Fruits: Peaches, Strawberries
Vegetables: Alfalfa Sprouts, Mung Bean Sprouts, Green Beans
Legumes: White Beans, Black Beans
Nuts: Pistachios, Walnuts, Peanuts
Dried Fruits: Dried Apricots, Dates, Dried Prunes
Beverages: Red Wine
Herbs: Garlic
Grains: Multigrain Bread
