Postpartum Anger

What’s some tips & tricks if you have gone through this ? My first baby I had it really bad but I didn’t know what to do to control it, aside from smoking a cigarette and taking a breather. I’m finding that this time around I was fine but having that anger come back around 2 months after having the baby. I feel bad because my children don’t deserve someone who gets angry within 2 seconds of something not going my way ( like my one kid not listening ) I feel like such a terrible mom after being mean & I don’t want to fall into a depression state because I feel such shit for being so mean or getting to frustrated fast. I know in time it will slow down with the anger ( I hope ) cause I’m already an easily irritated person. I just feel so defeated already with trying to juggle it all & think about so much things. Any help or advice would be appreciated 😔

Currently going through this myself, I totally get where you are coming from as I too feel like shit after loosing my cool over stupid stuff. I encapsulated my placenta, started seeing a psychologist and had blood work done to check my progesterone levels. I have heard good things about beef organ supplements to help with mood regulation as well.

@Samantha-Jo aw I’m sorry momma, it’s so hard being a women sometimes I hate that we get into these states . Hang in there ! We will get through this & that is interesting I don’t think I’ve heard of that! But could be something to look into Thank you for the advice ❤️

I have lost it on my baby, middle of the night, after 2 weeks of 30+ wake ups a night. Sleep deprivation, no friends or rather very very few friends and no family (no village), no breaks, no help, house was broken into so I didn't feel safe, house a disaster because no matter how much I clean my husband won't pick up after himself... I think it brought me to a point of burnout. Which made me quick to anger and lack patience. I am also dealing with childhood trauma (seeing a trauma therapist for) which got worse when I had my kids, there were things that triggers me because I was conditioned to as a child myself. Not only that, I have anemia and low energy from that. Do you happen to know why you're snapping? Like, are you sleep deprived and don't do well on little sleep? What else is going on for you? when I feel the impatience and burnout coming I tap out with my husband, I make a plan to get out for the morning, just me.

I am 11 months postpartum and have finally started to feel better ! I found putting the baby in the stroller and going for long walks helped me soooo much . Also when I knew I was in a bad mood from the morning doing a workout with weights helped get out the frustration/anger . Stay strong ! 💜
