In recent weeks, several high-profile figures have opened up about their struggles with postpartum rage, bringing much-needed visibility to the condition. Actress and mother-of-two Ashley Graham shared her experience in a candid Instagram post, describing moments of uncontrollable fury that left her feeling alienated and guilty. “I would snap at my partner over the smallest things, then burst into tears because I didn’t recognize myself,” she wrote. “No one talks about how rage can be part of postpartum life, and that silence makes it so much harder to seek help.”
Similarly, British author and activist Candice Brathwaite discussed postpartum rage in her latest podcast episode, emphasizing how societal expectations of “perfect motherhood” exacerbate the issue. “We’re told we should be glowing with happiness, but for many of us, the reality is overwhelming anger,” she said. “We need to normalize these conversations so women don’t suffer in isolation.”
These public disclosures have triggered a wave of discussions on social media, with thousands of women sharing their own stories under hashtags like #PostpartumRageAwareness and #AngryMomTruths. Mental health organizations have reported a surge in calls to postpartum support hotlines, indicating a growing demand for resources tailored to this specific issue. Experts hope that this increased awareness will lead to better support systems and reduced stigma around postpartum rage.
