Postpartum Rage

Thank you so much for this♥️♥️ When I started talking to my family doctor about checking my hormone levels, I just started crying and was so embarrassed in front of him but it’s so hard for me to talk about and idk where else to turn. I’m such a strong person- at least I like to think and didn’t think this would affect me like it has. I love my baby so much but sometimes I need a little break so I can come back and be the best mother for them and it’s hard to get that. And I feel like there’s not many people to talk to about it or help me - I appreciate you and I’m going to do the things you listed to help me ♥️
Of course! This doesn’t make you any weaker. It’s so hard being a mom. We all need a break sometimes and it doesn’t make us love our babies any less - like you said, it helps us be the best we possibly can! I’m always here if you want to talk as well ❤️
ALSO (sorry, I don’t want to be annoying) it is completely okay to leave your child in a baby-proof room for 5 minutes if you feel yourself about to snap. You should still warn your child even if they don’t understand right away (“mommy’s going to go to her room for 5 minutes”) but being able to be alone in a different room and take deep breaths helps me a lot too
Thank you so so much for that ♥️♥️🥲😭♥️
Girl same. I’m just in a perpetual state of anger and it’s horrible. What my husband doesn’t understand is that I WANT to relax and I WANT to be happy but I’m just so mad all the time I can’t help it. I need to get my hormones checked too but I just cannot afford it
I experienced this! It can be because of hormones, but it can also just still be adjusting to being a mother. Just think of how your baby is constantly changing - we have to constantly change to keep up with them! And it becomes a lot when your life has drastically changed since becoming a mother. I would recommend therapy. Talking out how you’re feeling and maybe getting some suggestions of what can be done to help can help you work through the emotions. In the meantime, meditation, journaling, holding ice cubes until they start melting and then throwing them as hard as you can in the sink are great ways to deal with the rage.
