The noise, the constant demands, being touched all day… sometimes it all just got too much!
When I was struggling with postnatal depression, I could go from feeling ok to intense rage over the smallest thing. And then I'd feel awful about it afterwards.
Postpartum rage isn't talked about nearly enough. I wish I'd known back then that other mums were experiencing this too. I felt so ashamed of it because I didn't understand where the anger was coming from.
If you've felt this too, I hope you know you're not the only one 🩷
