Oh I was furious honestly I advise getting blood work done nobody talks about how birthing one child depletes your selenium omegas iron calcium and more ...and you're supposed to somehow magically be fine after that lots of pp rage and depression is because of one exhaustion and two vitamin depletion I felt much better after I began eating oran meats dark greens and oily fish and their bones and molasses after birthing that and I go outside no matter what every single day seeing the sun is not an option it really does make you feel better
Yup. It's actually more common than PPD but it's one of the least talked about because people feel so much shame around it. I'll leave a link to a podcast about it with a psychologist and it was really helpful and also really helped me feel seen and not feel like I'm an awful person.

I agree with Jo. You need to continue your prenatal and try to eat nutritionally dense meals to replace what you lost during pregnancy. Since you were drinking you might be extra low on Vit B12. Lastly, if you can, try getting into therapy. There's a lot of virtual postpartum therapist that can really help.
I had really bad postpartum rage with my first baby, i definitely took it out on my partner and we struggled for several months. But at the end of it we worked on coping skills together and he was very understanding. I would suggest reading books/ watching videos on postpartum that actually helped a lot.
@Jo thank you for sharing. I’m thinking of fixing my diet because i also deal PCOS so i should be doing better with what i put in my body.
@Bethan Thank you so much. I felt a shame and instead of getting help was pushing it to the side
@Shay definitely going to try therapy. I need to be a better example for my baby
