Help

I think I need some help. I'm so angry and annoyed all the time. The littlest things set me off and at first I thought it was the birth control but I stopped taking it and I'm still suffering with it. I'm thinking of starting on mood stabilizing vitamins but I'm not sure if that's what I need. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Girl I think its just a symptom of having kids honestly they are just SO overstimulating. I have been feeling the EXACT same way like am I a monster?? But no we are just overwhelmed and you need YOU time to not be touched or needed. Talk to your partner or a friend and do your best to try and make time for yourself without the kids I know its hard but even if its just an hour to yourself to go for a drive and listen to music has helped me a little bit. Working out helps to blow off steam too

This might not be the answer your looking for but I think you should search for a therapist. I found one that had a certificate in postpartum care and she was an absolute godsend in helping me sort through my emotions and feelings.

I felt the same way after having my daughter. I found a group for moms, and it helps me realize I wasn’t the only one feeling the way I was. I’m also in therapy, but I like the idea of searching for a therapist that specializes in postpartum care

Can I ask who’s telling you your angry and annoyed all the time or is this actually how your feel? Also when did you come off the birth control as it can last in the system for a few weeks after stopping. I know I get angry when I stop taking my anti depressant. This is because I suffer from hormone imbalance also have a new born. Maybe this is something to look into. And look at what your triggers are and why?

So I get this 100% cuz same. Like my fiance was trying to be cute last night and I was just like "hey, plz don't touch me right now I just have had enough touching for the day". I have a history of depression and all, I've tried antidepressants and hated it, turns out I was PMSing (cyclical depression, usually lines up with my period, or the seasons, or both) real bad! Soooo, you're not a monster. Hormones are a b**ch (so is lack of aleep). There could be a bazillion wholly legitimate reasons you're feeling this way, I do think talking to your doc would be helpful, and I'm all for therapists (talk therapists are great if you don't want meds, but need to vent and want solid advice). If you want some holistic ideas, I've found magnesium glycinate helps A TON. Like, if you take nothing else from this, try the mag glycinate. Also nature or exercise (something YOU like where you can like, let it all out, even if it's just a 10 minute solo dance party).

Among other things I’ve been taking herbal tinctures and herbal teas specifically for postpartum rage and after 6 weeks I can say it’s helped a lot.

Try making going to the park a daily routine where you socialize it helped me SO much
