Mood Swings - One Minute I'm Feeling Down For No 'Reason'!
One minute you feel great then apparently for no ‘reason’ you feel depressed and low. It can be unpredictable and unpleasant.
Symptoms can range from mild mood changes to severe disruptive emotional fluctuations. They may follow a pattern with your menstrual cycle for example in the days before a period in particular, or may not follow any obvious link particularly if periods are irregular.
Why not explore the reasons that mental health changes can occur and ways to help?

I Feel Anxious! I Never Used To Feel This Way So Often...
Often a significant perimenopause symptom, which can be debilitating, and affect your quality of life, is a feeling that you are anxious. Many women say that they never used to feel this way and now it is happening more often and they cannot really see a cause.
Anxiety can exacerbate physical symptoms of perimenopause, causing emotional distress, impacting mental health, or affecting sleep quality. Sometimes this anxious feeling can follow a cyclical pattern or seemingly come from nowhere.
One big factor is fluctuating hormone levels which can impact neurotransmitters in the brain and addressing the hormonal changes can hugely improve these feelings. ![]()
Premenstrual Symptoms - I'm Aware That Symptoms Are More Pronounced!
Maybe you have noticed a pattern of symptoms occurring on a regular basis and linked to your cycle. This is frequently in the days before a period. Premenstrual symptoms may occur for the first time in perimenopause, or if you have had PreMenstrual Syndrome (PMS) before this time, symptoms may become more exaggerated.
