How do you deal with mom rage?

have you tried an audiobook? maybe you could just have it on while you go about your day?

weed also helps me 😂

Following because I need some advice especially for a strong willed 6 year old 🥲

@sydney this helped A LOT now im pregnant lmaooo

@sydney I do sometimes but it quickly overstimulates me. I struggle with misophonia

@sydney 🤣 I’ve never smoked before I don’t even know where I would get some

You just beat your kids and then you’ll feel a little better lol so not funny but I was just talking to my sister about this earlier today I have so much rage and then so much guilt what is there to do 💁🏼‍♀️

Anxiety meds or antidepressants

Lots of deep calming breaths, putting myself in time out when I need to calm down, I go & sit on the stairs, she usually comes after me after a minute & we make friends again.

@Dana not funny but funny as hell 🤣🤣💀💀I was stunned so bold lmfaoooo

Close the door, scream into a pillow

Having set tasks and prioritizing my sleep has really helped me. I wasn't actually angry I was just fucking exhausted. I started making sure i got a daily shower and 2 full meals a day. When my husband gets home from work he plays with the baby so I can cook dinner (he gets to bond and I get a break from being a jungle gym), after dinner someone does bath and bed and the other washes dishes and cleans the toys up in the living room. Baby is in bed by 7 and then we have 2 hours to chill before I go to bed. I used to feel like I had to do it all because my husband did things differently than I would but as long as it gets done it really doesn't matter.

I pray. I know that’s not what most people want to hear but when I feel myself getting angry I say “Lord, give me peace, grace, and love.” I have to actively stop in my tracks and do this along with a deep breath. I find it a lot easier if I call my daughter sweet names like “my love” when I speak to her. It helps me not be too snappy

Also what Cassie said ^^^

Postpartum therapy. Doing the inner work to actually change your fight or flight response

Take breaks, ask for help, do something for yourself l, start lifting weights take all your anger to the gym 😂

Remember your children aren’t purposefully pissing you off & your reaction to their behaviour is on you not them

I would get a blood test to check all your vitamin levels, thyroid and everything. Make sure your taking multivitamins, and put a lot of focus on eating nourishing foods and drinking water. A good vitamin that helped me was magnesium. I know it sounds all lalalala but kids drain all your stores and rage can be your body telling you you need something, that's what it was for me at least

Agree with @Emily. I took some antidepressants for a while, but actually getting out really helped, and having someone to talk to and talking with my partner really helped, too.

You may be trying to do too much. Often, the anger is because your kid is distracting you from something else you're trying to do. Give your kid long bursts of attention before you try to finish important tasks, and try to eliminate less important ones, at least for now.

@Bonny I resonate with this. I really have to hold it in when she needs my attention and I have to do something at the same time. I do involve her with tasks but it’s still a lot.
