Postpartum rage

Hey where abouts are you in the UK? I would love to help you out. Do you have any other family support? Does your 2 year old go to nursery?

I feel you, I am getting angry at my toddler, she is hyper active and always needs me to be around, I can't do anything, she will be between my legs...is so hard to keep place clean to cook...my toddler always put place upside down...baby is just 7 weeks, not so demanding now compare to 7 month...but it is extremely hard with no village....I totally feel you xx

I’m afraid to reach out to my health visitor I don’t want to loose my babies all I want it for my partner and family to be more supportive and not try and one up me all the time my 2 year old goes to nursery two times a week half days so it isn’t much time and my 7 month old is just so clingy I don’t know what to do x

Have you spoken to the perinatal health team?

Hey I’m so sorry to hear that your going through that I hear you it must be hard with 2 very young children I agree you do need support maybe a therapist you sound like your on the edge you won’t lose your babies please get support mama you come first if ur not ok u won’t be able to look after your children sending u hugs and prayers please get help xx

I still get PP rage and my baby is almost 10 months!

the best thing you can do is be honest and reach out for help and exactly why. i live in sussex and we have an nhs service called health in mind which is a free counselling service that you can refer yourself to. i’ve suffered mentally since first diagnosed at 12, and have used them frequently over the years. one of the times i used them was when my son was 1 and a half/2 and i had been really struggling mentally, i hadn’t reached out for help yet i just struggled for weeks, then i was doing my sons nappy and i can’t remember what happened whether he was screaming or being difficult etc idk id struggled with him for a while, but i actually had it in my mind to shake him. i didnt, id never hurt him, but for a split second that was in my brain and i immediately placed my son on the floor and put in a referral for health in mind, and on the referral there was a notes box and i told them my thought i had that pushed me to self refer. they were so supportive and understanding xx

I have the same problem with my toddler and baby, my health visitor is lovely and has referred me to help at home where they send out a volunteer to come and help at your house a couple of times a week. They phone you to find out what you need and then they allocate someone who fits the bill e.g I need someone who will sit on the floor with my toddler and teach him to things. Might be worth while investigating.
I was honest with my health visitor and explained the rage I feel and she said its very common and it will get better. It’s better to be honest a s all they want to do is help you and your family be happy. X
