Hello,
It’s understandable that you are doing a lot of things alone ,

While in ur case you n ur spouse are doing so much without much help ,
Postpartum is a phase of recovery for the mom too and yes you need some help and support from either of ur family members,
Maybe you are overworked and fatigued because of which ur anger is quite high,
Try to take some help if available from friends/ family or neighbours,
Get some rest , it’s extremely important,
The more u are exhausted , the more impatient we generally become
Also pls see a psychologist to help you regulate your emotions

Hi,
It is important to address your own anxiety and stress levels, as they can have a major impact on your interactions with your child. It is never okay to physically harm a child, and it is important to seek help and support in managing your emotions and finding healthy coping strategies.
I would recommend reaching out to a therapist or counselor to talk about your feelings and work on finding better ways to cope with stress. It is also important to create a support network, whether it be friends, family, or community resources, to help you and your husband in caring for your child.
In moments of high stress, it is okay to take a break and step away from the situation to gather your thoughts and calm down. It is important to prioritize self-care and managing your mental health in order to provide a safe and loving environment for your child.
If you are feeling overwhelmed and at risk of harming your child again, please seek immediate help from a mental health professional or a crisis hotline. You are not alone, and there are resources available to support you during this challenging time.

Dear User,
I very well understand the irritability and anger that you are feeling, however they needs to be managed well on time by a qualified professional. Consult a clinical psychologist, they will help you in navigating the issues and manage the emotional reactions coming. You would help be able to help you with parenting tips. For controlling you anger you may try relaxation and deep breathing. Due to strong intense emotion, the might be a change in your breathing as well therefore deep breathing would help you in restoring back to a normal position. Count in a random fashion, try maintaining a journal, talk to your friends who have experienced motherhood and take turns for handling the child. Consult a clinical psychologist

Hi, as a working mother myself, I do understand the many challenges raising a child brings. It is even more difficult if you are raising the child without any support. Try taking turns in caring for the child. The child can sense the stress and anxiety around him. Probably the father could try to calm the child down when you require a break, and you could do the same when your husband needs a break. Teething, growth spurts, separation anxiety, and lack of sleep are some of the few reasons why the child may be irritable and crying. Remember that the child is not doing this on purpose. He might merely need your attention. To give that attention and care for him, you first need to care for yourself. No one can function once they go into burnout. Do take some time to indulge in self-care. Consult a psychologist to explore strategies you could use to relieve your stress and burnout.
