short 2) Why PMS Rage Isn’t “Just Moodiness”
“If you turn into a completely
different person before your period… this is not just moodiness.”
Biological Explanation
Right before your period, estrogen and progesterone drop fast.
That drop affects serotonin — your brain’s “feel good” chemical.
Lower serotonin can mean:
• Irritability
• Anger
• Crying spells
• Zero emotional tolerance
This is chemistry. Not personality.
Why It Can Feel Extreme
If you’re already stressed, under-slept, or running on caffeine and low blood sugar…
Your nervous system is more
sensitive during this phase.
So small things feel Huge.
Your body isn’t overreacting.
It’s overloaded.
When It’s More Than Pms
And if your rage feels extreme — like it’s affecting your relationships or work — it could be something called PMDD.
That’s a severe form of premenstrual
mood symptoms.
And it’s real.
You’re not dramatic.
You’re not crazy.
Your brain chemistry is shifting.
Track it. Support it. Don’t shame
it.
