Postpartum rage/depression?
Has anyone had postpartum rage? What are the symptoms? I feel like I may have slight postpartum rage and I feel so guilty for it.
The first 5 months of my boys life I seriously felt like I was on cloud 9 & loved every bit even the really hard days and middle of the night wakings.
Recently over the last month I just feel so upset about everything. I get upset when he wakes up in the night & when he doesn’t stay on a consistent nap schedule which I know isn’t realistic so idk why I feel like that. He is also more “whiny” I guess, due to teething and I’m sure just hitting all of his milestones can make him like that. I just find myself starting to disconnect a little bit and I hate this feeling. I just feel like a horrible mom. I also lost my mom a week before he was born so I feel like I have no one to talk to and guide me😔
To add to it, I never felt upset about my body postpartum because it took to much to get my baby here, miscarriage & the loss of my mom, but lately I just hate the way I look and my clothes. Everything. It’s just exhausting.
Not sure why I’m posting this, just needed to get it out

I’m so sorry for the loss of your mother 🥺 You are not alone. I never had the rage but do suffer with severe anxiety and depression. I would recommend chatting with your OB. They can talk to you about options whether that’s medication and/or referring you to a therapist. It really sucks we go through this but there is help out there if you want it. Take care of yourself ❤️
@Adriana thank you so much, it’s been harder than I could have ever imagined. I will get through it one day🫶🏼
@Amanda thank you, I think I will. I never wanted to reach out for medication, but I honestly may have to at this point. Thank you so much🫶🏼

Hey babes, I’m sorry you are feeling this way. I think it’s normal to feel like this from time to time… it happens to me. But from what I’ve read it seems to me that maybe you are burnt out or just have unprocessed feelings. It’s hard to be a mom itself; I can’t imagine how much harder must’ve been after your loss. Sometimes we give our everything but then we also need a break for ourselves or just to process things.
