Dealing With Unexplained Anxiety And Negative Emotions In Menopause

Mood swings that feel like a terrible PMS? Emotions that come in waves? Irritability with no explanation? These might be all too common as you’re entering into PERIMENOPAUSE.

Many women reported heightened feelings of stress, anxiety, and crankiness are the first few signs of perimenopause where they experience drastic mood changes (all for no reason) throughout the day and eventually lead to emotional exhaustion. 

Well, what if we told you there’s actually a science-proven explanation behind it? Keep reading to find out why it happens and how to manage it well. 

So Why The Perimenopause Rage? 

First things first, let us just say all the anger and frustration you’re feeling doesn’t mean that you’re going crazy and it’s definitely the hormones talking. As you enter perimenopause, your body naturally produces less estrogen that supports your “feel good” chemicals such as endorphins and serotonin (aka happy hormones). Serotonin plays a role as a mood stabilizer and happiness booster so this explains why when there’s a decrease in estrogen, your emotions may feel off-balance. 

The worst part is these fluctuating emotions can come and go for a significant period of time. One second you may be feeling your best and then hit rock bottom next. For some women, these symptoms could even worsen and progress to a more severe mood disorder known as depression. 

Try Out These Proven-Effective Mood Reliefs

Now that you understand why perimenopause rage is a REAL thing, there are steps you can take to help regain control of your emotions.

#1 Stay Active

Engaging in physical activity is a great way to help improve your mood by naturally boosting endorphins and serotonin. Be it going for a brisk walk or jogging, it can get your body moving to increase energy and reduce feelings of worry and agitation. Other stress-relieving exercises like meditation and yoga can also help to support your emotional wellbeing. With certain breathing techniques while practicing, it works to improve mindfulness and eliminate negative thoughts that are constantly running through your head. 

#2 Diet Changes

Eating healthy can be just as beneficial for your mood as it is for your body. Several studies have found that people who consume foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids reported lower anxiety and fewer depressive symptoms than those with unhealthy eating habits. By consuming just 2-3 portions a week can help promote a happier mood and reduce emotional disturbances effectively. So keep that in mind and try to cut down on foods high in salt, unhealthy fats, sugar, and increase intake of omega-3 fats like avocado, salmon, sardines, and nuts.

#3 Supplement It 

Too busy (or just simply lazy) to exercise or find it too difficult to keep up with a good diet? Good news for you as there’s an easy (and effective) way out! lolvita™ is formulated with Pueraria Mirifica, a phytoestrogen-rich herb to help rebalance estrogen deficiency by naturally mimicking the body’s friendly estrogen, estriol (E3) to fill in the gap. That way, it can maintain a healthy estrogen level that’s required for a happier and more stable mood. 

There’s more! When the body’s natural hormonal system is well balanced, it can also help to ease away other symptoms that come along the journey of menopause.
