Oh 100% and it’s so real! I got a bit lucky because my boyfriend kind of understood I wasn’t me lol, he also tried his best to avoid pissing me off. On my end it made me feel shitty making him feel like he was walking on egg shells so I tried my best to walk away if I felt I was going to snap or tell him “I’m really mad right now, I need my space it’s not at you”. I also downloaded games on my phone to give me like a little distraction. I generally didn’t feel like myself and that shit felt so uncontrollable lol

Yes absolutely. It's so much worse when I havent slept so the way I managed it is to go straight down to basics, and when I haven't had much sleep to focus solely on feeding baby, napping at every opportunity day and night and eating. Honestly I don't even worry about getting dressed. The more sleep I have the less I find I have the rage

Mine is 2.5- almost three and i get rage around my menstrual cycle. I’ve never had that before and it’s been happening since my period returned after the birth of my son. He’s literally the only person who is immune from my rage. I have to talk myself down all the time
