I feel bad.

I wish I could comment incognito but I’m in the same boat. It really is difficult.

Try not to let those moments get to you 🫶🏼 As a second time mom, I’ve realized so much of my stress the first time came from figuring it all out. It’s hard, it’s overwhelming, and each difficult season feels like it’s lasting forever. But it won’t, my friend. This season WILL pass. When I’m in the moment of feeling triggered and all the emotions bubbling up in me (we’re biologically made to feel stressed when our baby is crying 🙃), I count. Counting up calms me down, then trying different counting patterns (by 2s etc) You could also try repeating a specific prayer or mantra or poem. Something to pull you out of the overwhelm for a second. You’re doing great, mom! You’ve got this 💪🏼 and your bond with baby will only get stronger through those times when it’s tough and you were there for her anyway ❤️

We’ve definitely all been there!

I hear you. I was like that before and would just complain to my husband about it as well. So it made things worse. Lately I’ve been trying to do a couple things a day so it doesn’t make things so stressful. Doing that helps me feel like I did something productive. It also gives me time to read or do something with my son. There has to be a way to minimize some of those tasks to a couple a day. It took me a long while just to get this process started. You’re strong. Keep being patient and be positive.

Put on Apple or Bose noise canceling headphones, just to dull the high pitched screeching or screaming or crying if that is triggering frustration , while taking care of baby needs , and also if you chose, while taking care of baby’s needs , listen to a podcast comedy or YouTube vids or calming music on low. Give yourself grace. We can’t do it all especially with no family/tribe around. It’s frustrating yes. Do what you can. Tomorrow is another day to try again. 😊

We’ve all been there 😭 it happens

Very relatable don’t beat yourself up! X

It happens to all of us. She's too young to remember. You're doing great!

Definitely been there! I used to put her in a safe space like her Moses basket and step out the room to take deep breaths and make a coffee, in the 2mins I was gone I was ready to start again and it usually calmed her so quickly when I came back as I was refreshed and so she could feel the tension had left the room. Housework is always abandoned until my partner gets home and we share the load of it so it all gets done quickly with little one being more clingy and needing us around her! Some days are hard and just know you’re not alone and you will get through this!!🥰

Been there. My daughter is now 2 and I went through the same exact thing. Absolutely no help or support. It will get easier and don’t beat yourself up too much about snapping. We’re human. You being aware of it and feeling bad afterwards is also a human emotion and it’s progress towards controlling it. Like someone else posted, if you follow a religion bask in that or try 5 minute meditations whenever you can. It really helps.

i have also been there. my ppr was bad. had it not been for my man bringing me back down many times idk how i would’ve touched reality and got out of seeing red. it’s hard mama. i count to 10. it helped me so much after realizing i had pp rage. it helped me control my reaction from snapping. maybe it’ll help those hard times for you too. i’m a whole world of better now, but even when my toddlers get to be much i still count to 10 before i even respond. it’s okay we’re all learning.
