postpartum rage?

Emeraldeyed315

Since having LO, I keep flipping out at DH and even my poor dog. Little things to big things...I feel it start in my belly and I get hot and just lose it. The other night I threw my plate on the floor. I feel like a 2 year old having temper tantrums! I'm not normally like this. In googling, PPR came up. I had never heard of it. Am I just a frazzled new mom, or is it possible this is whats going on with me? I only get like this with my DH really. I am so in love with LO and have not gotten upset towards her at all. I hate feeling myself lose control of my emotions.  

I'm sorry to ramble. I'm just curious what other people have experienced regarding this..

I had anger issues in Mid-December. I had to change my medication dose and that seemed to help that particular issue.

PP rage is a symptom of PPD/PPA.  Once you go on an anti-depressant, it should get a lot better

Yes! I struggled a lot with the rage and didn't realize it was a symptom of PPD.

If you don't have any other outlet, it's not surprising that you would take your rage out on your DH. He is a safe place for you to vent. But it's not fair to you or him, or to your LO to witness this. It's normal to feel a bit frazzled and frustrated at times, but throwing things and losing control on a regular basis is not normal. You can see a doctor and get help for this. GL!
