Postpartum Anger || Postpartum Rage || Postpartum Depression & Anxiety

Hey faithful few, welcome back to another brutally honest video- today's is about postpartum anger or what some call postpartum rage.

This is something I haven't talked about here, but I have definitely dealt with it, and I think way more mothers struggle with it than we realize. It can look like an unusual amount of postpartum anger at husband or really anger filled postpartum depression, and it can often come alongside the symptoms of postpartum anxiety. So like, in the middle of a panic attack, or getting really angry after a panic attack. I think I wouldn't have noticed that I was dealing with anything out of the ordinary until I noticed that I tend to have an increase in postpartum anger at my husband, throughout postpartum seasons. And I hate myself for it!

In fact, I would say a lot of my postpartum depression is ruled and reigned by postpartum anger. I am usually the most filled with postpartum rage WHEN I am also struggling the most with postpartum depression. So, today I share a few of my best tipd to overcome depression as a stay at home mom, in the midst of the anxiety and stress of dealing with two under two and the crazy that that brings. I talk about how to be a happy sahm whose life isn't ruled and reigned by postpartum rage. I talk about postpartum depression anger and what it looks like for me to fight it, like REALLY, HONESTLY.

If you also struggle with this, I'd be interested FOR SURE on hearing about your experiences. How to be a happy sahm when your hormones only want to make you angry, postpartum rage how long does it last, and how you eventually got out of it. I think I am coming out of the woods, but I really want to take care of myself and not count on getting better unless I am sure about it. I hate the postpartum angry all the time feeling and I feel like it's coming up less and less, but I never want to get desensitized to my sin.

Another thing I talk about is how so often my postpartum anger at husband is really postpartum angry at God. And making that distinction can be SO important. So often it seems like my husband can do nothing right, and I have it the hardest on planet earth, and my kids are trying to give me the hardest time possible.... and I get so angry at myself and my life and then I'M NOT ANGRY AT THEM OR ME. I am angry at God. But, I don't want to be angry at God! Then that leads me into thinking that nothings actually WRONG, because all these hardships are from God, Himself! So, He gave them to me because He made me and knows I can handle them, even though I don't feel like I can. And so, I am a firm believer that Christian mom postpartum depression is a much better term to describe all that's going on because postpartum depression is very different as a christian mom, than as somebody without a Savior. Even Christian mom postpartum anxiety is different, because in the midst of the panic attack, I have someone to call on, to calm the storm in my head. So, yeah.

My wife suffers from massive rage and anger, and its been well over a year. Our first child it wasnt bad, but our 2nd child sparked a far more intense anger. I also needed to hear about what you said about your husband. I feel like a failure to my wife. Her anger is at me everyday and says I dont love her or support her and I've tried everything. Our relationship is falling slowly and I miss my wife. I love her deeply and God blessed us with these beautiful children and she cant contain herself.

This video is reaching me 2 years after you posted it, but I feel like you made it just for me. This is so spot on to what I am experiencing. Thank you.

[Kiki-fele]

I cried watching this. This is exactly what's I'm struggling with and I'm angry that I wanted a baby and that I'm not just happy 24/7. I'm fighting with my husband and I hate that I don't catch it beforehand.

[mumoffour]

Oh how I sobbed! I haven’t cried like this in YEARS. I’m a mom of 4. My journey to motherhood was difficult. I have 7 babies in heaven. My son was diagnosed with autism. It’s not the life I prayed for. I love my kids. They are all beautiful and so pure….. but it’s HARD! And I’m angry… all… the… time.
I haven’t prayed in years because of the shame of being angry at God. That He abandoned me to suffer int his way. That he allowed all those things to happen to me all while serving Him and being devoted to Him. Thank you for giving me the permission to say it (or write it) for the first time and leading me to prayer. I can’t thank you enough.

I came on YouTube today in desperation for finding a faith based outlook on how to deal with my post partum rage. I’ve been feeling soooo burnt out. Over stimulated, rage filled and frustrated with my 3 kids 3 and under. To the point of literally screaming into the couch last night becuase I’m so exhausted. Thank you for sharing this video. It’s exactly what I needed to feel grounded. I needed that prayer.

[sarahwatson]

Thank you for being vulnerable and helping to validate and help rageful moms not to feel alone and tools to help calm the storm inside

[sierra]

This was spot on. I am a first time and suddenly after having my daughter I haven’t been able to control my anger to my husband this made me feel better that I’m not alone.

[kayvee]

*deeply exhaling* I am sooo relieved that I am not the only one. Thank you for this video. A few minutes ago I was searching google for answers but all I saw was baby blues and PPD articles. So happy I came to YT instead and came across your vid. Peace and light to all 🙏🏾✨

[KerrianneRolle]

Im watching this on March 1st of 2024. I watched this video a few years ago and i honestly wasnt lolimg for this video i had typed in how to get a partner to understand my ppd and ppmd and this video popped up a few videos down i clicked on it and i needed to hear this again. I relate in every single way that you are mentioning. I have wiped several tears watching this again we just had our third baby 5 months ago. And i am angry at God. The prayer at the end i prayed it with you. I received it. God is enough God is trying to teach me that

[beccal]

I searched “Christian mom anger” and wow this was sooo helpful. Baby #3 did me in and I’ve developed such a harshness with my 3&4yr old. I appreciate you sharing this opportunity. I know that split second of catching myself, stop me before this happens Lord thank you for this. Let’s sprint to the cross Together love this so much. Would love an update video how Gods answered this prayer what he’s taught you about this and how you’ve used tools to overcome it. Thank you sister!!!

[latala]

I cannot even explain how powerful this was for me, thank you so much for such a honest humbling prayer and honest conversation, really felt this! Sobbing like a baby, thank you Jesus for a wonderful honest sister helping others! <3

[melanierivera]

Thank you much for this video, I feel that this topic is not talked enough, I’m currently 6 months postpartum and my rage towards my boyfriend and dog is awful I don’t know what to do, I’m always been so calm and chill, I hope all mothers that were going thru this we can past it it is so hard, keep working hard mamas you can do it 🤍🤍

[BlondeBritLynne]

Sister thank you! My day was damaged by this world and all the motherhood struggles and this healed my broken heart! Thank u

[NurseKayceeHere]

Thank you for being so open about this! What helped my postpartum anxiety was talking about it to my mom friend, doing therapy, and really turning to God with it.

[coriwade]

Gurl. Thank you for sharing this solid truth that I'm also experiencing. Ugh

[PursuePeace]

So raw and real 😭 Beautiful prayer - prayed right along with you in agreement. Love that there's no time or space in the Spirit. Thank you Faith, you're encouraging me to be raw and just be honest with the Lord. We can't hide anything from Him - He even knows the weight of each tear we cry. 😥 There's something cleansing about confession - it's coming into agreement with the Lord about our sin and weaknesses - just owning up to it and then coming to Him knowing that we desperately NEED Him - every second we are 100% dependent on Him. That's how Heaven is run, right? Completely by Him. No need for light bulbs - for He is THE LIGHT and His glory shines so bright!🌞🤗

"But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
🌻 2 Corinthians 12:9 🌻

[staceytaylor]

Faith, your honesty and conviction have pointed me to Jesus in such an incredible way. He has completely transformed my relationship to my anxiety and PP anger through your videos, and I am so thankful that you've taken the time to share your heart. Thank you thank you! ❤ a fellow pastor's wife and momma

[Maria-chce]

Wow....you know I never thought of putting my anger towards God instead of the people around me. But that’s so true. Whatever is happening it’s Gods control, He’s the one allowing it. Because of Gods sovereignty, if we are ever angry about something, we should take it to the Lord. Why? Because God does all things for our good Romans 8:28, and we may not see it in the moment or understand it, but you’re right, taking our anxieties, our anger, our depression to God, the only One who can heal our pain, is better then taking it out on our husbands or kids, which only brings damage like you said. Thank you so much for this video sister ❤️🙏

[simplysarah]

Wow! Exactly what I needed to hear! I've been experiencing this too and some Christian ladies have said to me that PP depression / anxiety / anger is normal and ok for new Mums like myself. I struggled because my Spirit keeps saying that this is not ok. I don't condemn myself but I have come to the point where I am not going to accept these emotions as a 'normal' part of Christian motherhood anymore. Even if I fail everyday, I will keep striving for supernatural patience and trust that God will finish the work he has begun in me. Quiet time before the day begins is so important - you reminded me of that in previous videos! :D xxx

[avalewis]

Definitely feeling this. Before I got saved I dealt with a lot of rage and anger. Maybe it did start postpartum and I never stopped the habit. When I got saved that is something God helped me with to process in the moment and not just exploding! I still feel the anger when I get overwhelmed and knowing "I am not enough." None of us are and it's not failure it's just facts. God is our anchor amidst the storms.. even the laundry storms! Love you sister!
