Please no judgement.

Anyone been in that position where they are so drained and so tired that when you’re little one is overtired, teething and won’t stop crying you feel this pent up anger that you’re so close to doing something to your baby that you have to just walk away from them for a bit? Today has been one of those days. Doesn’t help I have a poorly 3 year old who is non verbal and can’t communicate what’s wrong and is up every hour of the night at the moment on top of Aug baby usual wake ups which have been more than usual recently (he’s in leap 5) it’s on these days I feel like I cant cope and I’m a failure.

Just know you’re doing amazing babe! It’s normal to be angry, walk away until you’ve calmed down baby will be fine to cry alone for 5 min whilst you pull yourself together we are also in leap 5 and I honestly it’s tough! You got this🫶🏻

I feel this so much! It builds throughout the day and I often just snap. But I always put them down somewhere safe first and then walk away

You're human, sweet, and you can only deal with so much. I think a lot of us mums go through points where we feel like we're gonna lose it. I definitely have a couple of times when my mental health was down the pan. Don't beat yourself up about it. It sounds like you've got way too much for one person to deal with going on. You're doing the right things and making sure babe is safe when you feel like this. Be gentle with yourself 💗

Yes …me overnight … 🥺 I am so tired … it’s being 5 months hard … and my baby is 6 months today … with congestion, and sleep regression 🫣😰

This is so normal, walking away is the best thing. Just make sure baby is safe, I have a camera in my living room so I will sometimes sit on the front door step with a drink and just watch her then when I’m chill I will go back in x

Postpartum rage is totally normal! X

Yup. Post natural depression and rage over here. It's been awful in all honesty. Plus I'm a solo mum. Id suggested speak to health visitor or gp for therapy
