So angry!

[TreacleMoon2]

Please help!

I'm 47 and I think I'm peri-menopausal.

I am so angry all the time!

The only other symptom are an uneven cycle, but no hot sweats or anything like that.

But the rage!

All the time! Well, alternating with tears! But life is pretty stressful right now as well, so not sure how much is hormonal and how much is external factors!

Do you think it's worth investigating HRT or is it too soon?

I'm just a bit concerned that the way I'm going I'm heading to the divorce court soon.

I was a raging monster, periods still normal & no hot sweats just totally unstable and would irrationally fly in a rage at the slightest thing.
HRT was live changing.

I'd been getting night sweats for years without realising they were symptoms of peri. But what drove me to investigate HRT was the rage/tearfulness you describe. My overreactions to anything went totally off the scale. Age 50 when I started taking HRT and it is a massive help.

Thanks :)

I had to go to the doctors today on behalf of my DH and brought up the subject with the receptionist and was told to phone at 8am on Monday if I wanted an appointment.

But I don't feel I can justify this as an emergency and they are the only appointments available these days...
