How to snap out of a rage?

I’ve had a very very bad morning I’m sleep deprived for 7 months. Baby has never slept through the night and I’m exhausted. I get really bad rage near my periods ever since postpartum but today I can’t snap out of it - help? How can I? I’ve got to the stage I’m punching myself or walls or just throwing crap against the wall. I’ve never taken it out on my son but I’ve told him to shut up today and that’s just not something I do What the hell can I do I feel so out of control

Show your support

Apparently looking at how tiny they're feet or hands are is supposed to help along with deep breaths or counting I'd imagine

This really spoke to me. I have been feeling like this recently. Telling someone was first step, that helped me! If you do scream or shout just say your sorry but you’ve been sleep deprived 7+months and have had your whole life turn upside down and it can be flipping hard to be calm and controlled 24/7 when all you wanna do is sleep! If there is someone that can just take little one for a walk or out for a bit sometime in week look forward to that little nap. Just remember you’re doing great.

Definitely seek some support - whatever this looks like for you…. GP appointment / inviting someone over to give you an hours nap / meeting a friend for coffee to have an adult conversation…. I find being out and about much much easier when we’ve had a tough night! It will pass 💕
