Why Overwhelmed Moms Struggle With Rage More Than Anyone Talks About

If you’ve found yourself snapping more easily, feeling constantly overstimulated, or wondering why you feel so angry all the time after becoming a mom — you are not alone.

And no, it does not make you a bad mother.

You’re still supposed to show up, care for everyone else, manage the mental load, regulate your emotions, and somehow appreciate every moment while doing it.

Meanwhile, many mothers are quietly drowning in overstimulation, resentment, anxiety, guilt, exhaustion, and nervous system overload.

And honestly? We do not talk nearly enough about how common mom rage actually is.
