Pstos partum rage

put the baby down and just walk away if you feel yourself getting upset

@Summer luckily its never the babies that make me mad. One of the ppl that I live with seem to know exactly how to get me to go from calm and collected to 1000/10 anger in a split second 🙃 😅

that’s good! and yah that’s kind of hard. i have a temper for things like that so i know what you mean and im sure the postpartum rage enhances that by a million. im sorry idk how to help with that 🤣 im not good at holding anger back tears dumb adults lol

I spoke with my OB about this at my 6 week check up. She said getting out and exercising will help. Also getting some alone time daily (which is freaking impossible with a baby). She said therapy would likely not help much with rage and I sort of agreed. So she ended up prescribing me Zoloft and hydroxyzine to help take the edge off. She said it would take 2-4 weeks to notice a difference but should help. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Not too happy about having to take meds but it’s at a point where I’d rather try something than to keep having fits of rage. So far so good

Therapy will help. And what helped with me is I started to constantly in my head or out loud say things I was grateful for or appreciate of. Like my poor husband got on my nerves so easily. I felt like I wasn’t me. And what I started to do was through out the day reminding myself of things I loved and liked about him instead of constantly thinking about all the negative things. This did not take away the rage I felt but definitely helped me be more calm and aware of my emotions in the moment

do something that puts you in a silly goofy mood then think of positive things about that person and focus on trying to verbalize to them what you appreciate about them and build them up so they keep doing the things you do like about them. this MIGHT help them change unwanted behavior towards you & make them seek more appreciation. this will give you a break from focusing negative energy and feelings towards them. also blame what you feel partially on hormones. they are a rollercoaster but have faith it gets better on its own. distance yourself from that person before they start to REALLY piss you off. start a coloring book you can quickly start doodling on as soon as you feel the rage. you need to release happy chemicals in your brain or body by doing a quick floor workout while baby does tummy time

make sure your vitamins are & enough to support your mood . taking extra vitamin d3 and night can help support your mood tremendously.

I’ve started taking a walk to calm down when I feel like I’m turning into a crazy person
