I've heard that called "free floating anxiety" I think.
It comes with the territory. I used to think I was becoming paranoid or something. Apparently it's somewhat normal.
I can only speak from personal experience (surgically menopausal since 2002) but I only really and truly got feeling right when I discovered bio-identical hormone therapy.
Upside of menopause? No fear of pregnancy, no cramps, no periods, no PMS, no pre-period migraines or cluster headaches. No sending hubby to the store in the middle of the night for feminine hygiene products or advil
Downside: moodiness, depression, inability to sleep the whole night, hot flashes, decreased ability to lose weight. Eventually decreased libido.
All of which, BI-HRT has fixed, beautifully!
ETA: for those wanting to know more about hormone replacement:
