Anger is a distress signal. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Anger in the postpartum period is a red flag that is being overlooked and misunderstood. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Studies have shown that moms struggling with PPA/PPA are more likely to have symptoms of rage. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This rage is often intense, hard to control and feels very uncharacteristic. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Here is a short excerpt from Jill Bucher of ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
-------⁣⁣
“Anger is indeed a normal emotion that we can all have, but being prone to anger can indicate there’s something going on that needs to change.” She [Christine Ou] adds that there is some evidence that shows that if a woman is both angry and depressed, the depression can last longer and be more intense.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The things that moms are angry about postpartum aren’t earth-shattering. Some feel trapped or helpless as they shoulder so many new responsibilities caring for a new baby while their own needs are left unfulfilled. Others find the reality of motherhood and the supports they receive don’t live up to their expectations. And many feel guilty that they aren’t the picture of the idealized self-sacrificing mother that’s upheld in our society.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
What’s more surprising is that no one’s thought to look at anger as a red flag for postpartum mood disorders sooner. Ou has a theory as to why it has been overlooked: “Culturally, we often aren’t comfortable with the emotion of anger because it can imply that you’re not in control—especially for women.” And women who’ve just had babies are expected to be particularly blissful.⁣⁣

“This mama labored beautifully all through the night, yet was a little frustrated with her progress. Why is it taking so long? What can I do to speed this up? The age old questions. But then the sun rose, and big sister rose with it. She awoke to her mom laboring in the tub, squealed, and quickly ran back to her room to get her bathing suit on. She got in the tub and within minutes it was time, and the answer was clear. It didn’t take too long, the timing was perfect. These sisters were just waiting for each other. And a few minutes later baby girl was born right into her big sisters hands (with a little help from dad 😉)”

Imagine if our culture told us that birth was one of the greatest things a women might ever do. Imagine if the stories and images we were exposed to taught us that labor is an incredible and transformational experience. A rite of passage into motherhood
