Hi Sickntired, anger is a genuine way to get rid of tension and peri/menopause is certainly a time of great tension. I don't think you need anger management in the sense of getting rid of anger, you need to channel all that energy to something more productive for your well being. Maybe declining estradiol levels and relative increase in testosterone levels play a role in anger during peri/menopause. I have some chronic anger issues and I had acute anger outbursts in peri, they're a tad different. Chronic anger has a lot to do with resentment, as you say, but hormonal anger is more drastic, so to speak. Rationalisation is the key, along with a lot of breathing. Breathing exercises have dropped my BP and that is the proof that they work to decrease tension. Anti-depressants are okay as a rescue measure, but there's always the risk of being dependent, tolerant and having withdrawal symptoms. Have you tried mindfulness, yoga, tai chi, meditation? They really help. Hang on in there.
