I completely understand what you are going through, the sudden anger and sadness can be so overwhelming. I found that having warm chamomile tea at night and practicing slow breathing helped calm my mind.

Hormones can play havoc with your peace of mind. I always suggest a quick strength training session or even a run when you feel irritable. Working out releases endorphins which act as natural mood lifters, helping you manage those sudden emotional shifts much better.
