Mental stress after delivery
I started shouting a lot after delivery
Even before My baby also. I can't control anger
My husband used to force me to lick his genitals
And I just hate it
Still I did because he like it
But now I have 6 months baby
And I started talking vulgar words, bad language and yelling at him, for doing so with me
Because he dint listen to me, and forced me 2 times to do that, when I was pregnant also
So I always taunt him, and get that weird thought always
At that time, I used to feel bad but as he dint listened I used to tell him that I don't like doing that thing but now
I always taunts him for doing like that with me after 1 month delivery
I became like this I don't know the reason behind it
I don't have proper Sleep and feel stressful
I yelled at him after delivery, because he used to shout at me for evry single reason
I am unable to control my anger from then

After delivery, many women experience strong emotional changes due to hormonal shifts, lack of sleep, and ongoing stress. When someone has felt repeatedly unheard or emotionally hurt, especially around personal boundaries, anger can start coming out more intensely. What you describe does not mean there is something wrong with you. It seems to reflect emotional overload and unresolved distress.
Next Steps
In such situations, you can often benefit from:
- Psychological therapy to work through anger, resentment, and post-delivery emotional changes
- Assertiveness work where you learn to state boundaries and needs clearly, without guilt or fear
- Intentional personal time away from marital and caregiving demands to decompress and emotionally reset
- Sleep and exhaustion management, as poor rest directly worsens irritability and impulse control
Health Tips

Hi
What you are experiencing is not sudden anger or bad behavior — it is a trauma response combined with postpartum stress, sleep deprivation, and long-term emotional hurt. Being forced into sexual acts despite saying no, especially during pregnancy and after delivery, is a serious boundary violation. When pain is suppressed for a long time, it often comes out later as yelling, taunting, or harsh language. After childbirth, hormones and exhaustion reduce emotional control, so the suppressed anger surfaces more strongly.
This doesn’t mean you have changed permanently. It means your nervous system has been overwhelmed and unsafe for too long. Healing is not about just “controlling anger,” but about processing trauma, restoring emotional safety, and regulating your body and mind again. With proper therapy, these reactions can reduce and clarity can return. Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

I’m really sorry you’re going through this. What you describe is not your fault.
After delivery, hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, stress, and unresolved trauma can strongly affect emotions and anger control. Being forced into sexual acts, especially during pregnancy, is sexual abuse, and it can lead to anger, intrusive thoughts, irritability, and emotional outbursts after childbirth.
Your symptoms suggest a mix of:
• Post-partum mood disorder (depression/anxiety)
• Trauma-related stress
• Severe sleep deprivation
Shouting, anger, and vulgar thoughts are expressions of accumulated hurt and helplessness, not bad character.
What you should do:
• Please consult a psychiatrist in person soon — treatment (counselling ± medication) can significantly help.
• Individual therapy is important; couple counselling only if you feel safe.
• Prioritise sleep and support with childcare.
• If coercion or abuse is ongoing, your safety comes first — reach out to a trusted family member or women’s support service.
With proper help, this is treatable, and you can regain emotional control and peace.
