I don’t have the patience to be a mum.

Notice when you feel triggered, what's going on around you, why you're feeling what you're feeling. I felt ragey too. Noticing when it happens helps. I repeated a "I'm calm cool collected" mantra. Baby wearing helped a bunch. Get out of the house with or without baby (as long as they're safe). Leave baby safely in another room and scream all that rage into a pillow. Hang in there, it gets better!
How old is baby? Please talk to your doctor about it as post partum rage and depression are rough ❤️
Getting around other moms at groups and storytimes helps me. A little venting, sympathy, and fresh air takes the edge off for a day or two. Oh, and eating! Even if it’s just a morning protein shake.
Oh I'm sure we have all internally punch our toddler in our mind. You calm on the outside but on the inside you flipping him off. I tell my son I need quiet time or space and I step away ABIT. Scroll my phone drink coffee just a few minutes to regulate .think positive thoughts then you go back in and if I did snap at him then I'll go back give him a hug and apologies and then I will try again calmer still with the dread of mom guilt sure. We weren't thought to regulate so how we teach our kids to is the same tricks we can use
Audiobook or upbeat music in wireless headphones when you’re trying to deal with non stop crying. You’re also allowed to walk away for a few minutes. If baby is somewhere safe, bassinet or bouncer…etc just step outside and breathe. Make yourself a tea or coffee. During the purple crying stage I thought I was going insane from lack of sleep and heartbreak. It was so hard. I felt like this the first few weeks but you get into a rhythm as you get to know your baby and you’ll find it easier to understand what they need. You’ve got this. Sorry you’re going through it though. I think all of us here understand.
