Postpartum rage / depression?

Hi all, Is it too late to get postpartum depression/ rage? (Rant incoming) Baby will be 11 months on Thursday and the last 6-8weeks I’ve been really down, really irritated by little things, my partner in particular, anything he does annoys the hell out of me, he has ended up going to stay with his mum as “he can’t deal with my emotions” which has made it even worse, he has never supported me, calls me psycho because when I ask him for help…multiple times… , he doesn’t help and I end up doing everything myself , then shouting because I have asked so many times. He drinks alcohol everyday and that’s now really irritating me as I don’t want my child growing up seeing that. He also throws in my face paying the mortgage and bills as we agreed I’d take the year off and we knew I would only get stat mat pay! He also puts his mum and sisters before us, if they say jump, he jumps.. this has always been an ongoing problem but even more so now I don’t know if it’s to do with him and he’s just not the father I thought he would be,, or it’s something to do with my hormones postpartum????

I wouldn’t put that onto u at all, I was with someone exactly like this and when we broke up minus the heartbreak but life was generally a lot easier with my daughter. It worries me u think his behaviour is justified by ur hormones! Definitely sounds like a Jim problem and I’d be bringing it up asap! I hope your okay xx

@olivia 🩷 him going back to his mums I have classed as us breaking up, he’s not once asked how I am since going to hers on Saturday, he has asked how baby is once a day but that’s it 😔 just so sad I really wanted my daughter to grow up with a family unit :(

Go to the docs, they can help you and he won’t bother you as much then

He's it isn't too late to get ppd/ rage I was diagnosed couple months ago but because I opened up about my feeling etc I am actually out the woods now and got signed back off ! But tbh you baby dad just sounds like more of a hindering than actually helping. I hope your okay but honestly sounds like your a single mum anyway so you'll smash it ccx

@Chernien okay thank you, i may try doctors and see what they say! And yes I basically am a single mum already, and have been for 11 months! thanks for reminding me 🩷

Your very welcome my inbox is always open if you need a chat or rant! Your not alone us other mums have got you always 💕 your smashing it girly always remember your an amazing mum with or without him xx

No it’s never ever to late for postpartum range/anger/ depression - I would highly suggest going to speak to your GP and I would so be speaking to your about giving you more support and to stop putting all the pressure on you!! I am single mum have been since my son was 6 weeks ( I have just gotten into a new relationship but still very much a single mum) and I have been battling my PPD and anger not the easiest thing to get on top off but getting support when needed and speaking to my doctor has really helped 🩷🩷

@Meaghan hey! Thanks for replying! Since he left on the weekend I have felt normal again! So strange! No anger, no rage, no down time! I think it was just him 😂 xx

Feel this completely when me and my ex broke up he was the exact same, all I wanted was a family unit and a happy, simple life and it’s truly been anything but. I’m here if you want to message i understand completely how you feel xx
