Ever since Saturday I have been feeling “angry”….and I cannot determine the source. I thought it was due to a bit of jealousy due to a friend’s shark teeth finds….but I had let that go…but the anger still remains. When I try to get to the root of it, I regress and start to cry. Anger was not an acceptable emotion in my family so it was always looked upon with embarrassment and covered over with tears. Nothing else has really happened to me this week that would spark this level of anger…so it has to be something from my past…..and it usually has to do with a feeling of being wronged, embarrassed, taken advantage of or ignored….none of which I have experienced this week. I have my therapy appointment tomorrow so will ask her opinion and see if she can’t help me get to the root of this.

You're about my age, and that feeling has accompanied hormonal fluctuations of perimenopause, for me. Intense sensations of physiological anger, without a root cause I could identify. I feel like myself again after addressing that with things to assist with hormones. |

I had not even considered the hormone angle. Decades of CBT has led me to over analyze my emotions….I call it the “belly button lint approach”. I am sure it works wonders for others but it didn’t work so well for me. In any event I am going to still talk to my therapist about hormone wonkiness. |

Yes, in the years of intense perimenopause fluctuations I went through cycles of intense (negative) emotions and real anxiety. Overwhelming sadness. Brain fog, confusion. It was physiologically based, I'm sure because I didn't figure anything out except what supplementation helps my hormonal balance. Good luck!! |
