Any other moms out there experience postpartum rage?

Talk to your obgyn 🩷 I noticed rage and anxiety peaked for me around 4-5mo range and after encouragement from a friend I scheduled an appointment with mine.
@Britta how did the appointment go? I’m nervous cause I don’t want my baby taken from me by saying how I feel
Girl yes.. you are not alone.. i am also guilty of frustratingly told my son to stop crying.. its so hard. I find myself getting triggered at the SMALLEST things, i have a corgi and it gets me so angry when hes at my feet and im trying to walk. Ive always had pp rage, but i feel it has gotten a little worse as time has gone on. I feel guilty and ashamed too, and i dont have much advice, but i just try to remind myself that theyre a baby and the only way they know how to communicate is by crying or fussing. I mainly just wanted to comment to let you know that youre not alone and im going through it too.
I definitely do, but I also noticed it is way way way worse when my blood sugar is low, just a thought!
Yes and I still struggle with it a lot. I wish I had advice 🥲 I’m going through 12 Steps right now (like AA but not for alcoholism, for anger) and we’ll see if that helps
@Naye my doc had me fill out the mental health survey and she recommended I start an antidepressant (a verryyyyy low dose). We also chatted about how I was feeling in general and what my day to day life looks like. I’ve considered starting therapy as well to have an outlet to talk to another adult.
Only at my cycle times
