Anger Management

Question

First time Mom po ako. 26 days na ang aking baby. Dumaan ako sa baby blues pero natatakot ako kasi hanggang ngayon parang may mga signs pa rin ako nito. Lalo kapag umiiyak ang anak ko, umaabot sa point na nasasaktan ko s’ya kahit ayoko naman talaga. Ayokong maulit ang ganito. Planado naman ang anak ko pero bakit parang malayo ang loob ko sa kanya? Gusto kong makontrol ang galit ko. Sana matulungan n’yo ako kasi ayoko ng ganito.

Mama, please reach out to your doctor or OB-GYN as soon as possible, what you're describing sounds like it needs professional support, and that's okay. Maraming moms ang dumaan dito, pero hindi dapat kang mag-alala alone pa. It's really brave na nagsasabi ka nito, at importante na alam mo: this doesn't mean you're a bad mom. Postpartum depression and postpartum rage are real medical concerns, not a reflection of your love for your baby, kaya talaga kailangan mo ng help from your healthcare provider, psych support, or both. In the meantime, if you feel that urge building, step away for a moment, breathe, or call someone you trust, your partner, mom, sister, even a friend. A few of us moms talk about how asking for backup when we're overwhelmed saves us from moments we regret. You deserve to feel better, at mas importantly, your baby needs you to get the support na kailangan mo. Please don't wait, ha?
