Post partum rage
Show your support
@Eviee my babies crying :( I can’t cope with it. I have bpd, also struggling with ppd but seems to be the rage that is taking over at the moment. My bpd has been under control the last 5 years or so due to talking therapy, but freshly post partum and the PPR is eating me alive
I’m bipolar and the rage was/is unreal. Especially when my brain is hearing the crying and then telling me to hurry Hurry HURRY and it feels so much more than anger, it’s overwhelming. I talked about it as much as I could to others, tried to calm myself down with breathing or taking a minute where I can’t hear anything, which is where earbuds/plugs come in handy. They have some that just dull the noise a little so you can hear what you need to. It also gets better with time, at least with my kids when they started trying to talk they cry less because they can express more. It is so hard not to feel guilty, I have nights after bedtime I just cry and think wow I’m a shit mom and I have to reach out to my husband or friends to remind me I am a good mom
It depends on what triggers your rage. Writing my thoughts and feelings and talking to a therapist to get insightful feedback helped for me. However if you suffer from other mental health issues then get that in order first and it’ll trickle down with more help you seek.
