I'm 51, and have several friends right around my age also. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!! One of the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause is mood swings, and for those of us who have them, they are not pretty.
Alison gave you some great links to follow. I hope you will, and write back and update us on whether the information was helpful and if there's anything else we could help with. Finding an ob/gyn who is an expert in dealing with menopause is key.
Dr. Christiane Northrup wrote a fabulous book on menopause that I recommend to every woman of a certain age. It is thorough, readable and pertinent! And she is a proponent of bioidentical hormones, so you will get good exploration and examination of the topic in her book, The Wisdom of Menopause.
