What is “postpartum rage” and does it really exist as a diagnosis?
Postpartum rage is not a diagnosis. Do you really have postpartum rage? Or are you just overwhelmed with busyness? That is not postpartum rage. That is life. That is just what happens to a fallible human when we have a lot going on and we don't have a lot of sleep. Putting the word postpartum. before any difficult emotion or any difficulty that we experience almost justifies all of our feelings. I just want you to consider whether you really have postpartum rage or whether you are just struggling with the sin of anger.
Hey y'all. Welcome to Relatable. Happy Wednesday. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far. All right, we got a lot to get to today, so I'm just gonna jump right into it. This term postpartum rage or mom rage or overstimulated or touched out, all of these terms, all of these words are used to describe. This kind of heightened aggravation that moms feel due to domestic demands and demands of life in general. Children who need attention, you've got husbands who want affection, plus you have all of life's other obligations and all of this combined. surpasses some women's tolerance threshold and the overwhelm then translates into anger and bitterness. This is a description that we see a lot, especially online when it comes to motherhood.
And the question is for all of these words specifically, are they real diagnoses? Are these genuine, understandable, physiological responses to motherhood, or are they, like so many other terms in our therapy-laden culture, pathological excuses for sin? These are questions that I've been thinking about over the last few weeks, especially in light of this Lindsay Clancy case. Because the plight of mothers, especially postpartum. Has taken Center stage. The case, as many of you know, if you've been following along, listening to this podcast for the past several weeks, it ended in a mistrial after a loan juror refused to assent to the conclusion that Clancy was not guilty by reason of insanity. Now, something I want to take a deeper look at is how Clancy herself looked at motherhood and how we as a culture looked at or look at and talk about motherhood.
Yeah. In a photo that has been circulating of what appears appears to be Lindsay Clancy's nightstand, next to a bloody knife, Clancy had a wine glass that said, because kids. And in a Facebook group you probably remember, she described her middle child, a toddler, as one of the most difficult humans that she had ever met. Now some people would argue and did argue when I talked about this on Instagram that these things are totally separate. They're completely irrelevant. To this case, I got messages saying things like, These are the cries of a woman who needed help. This is her trying to be honest and vulnerable, asking people for advice. But even if we do separate these statements, that wine glass from Lindsay's guilt, which to me seems kind of absurd in light of the fact that she admitted on multiple occasions to killing her children, the question remains.
Is this a healthy way to think about motherhood, or to talk about our children, or to seek advice from others? No, this kind of attitude is not always going to lead to violence. Most times it won't lead to violence or to murdering or mistreating your children, but it's still worth asking, is this a healthy culture and a healthy conversation that we have created about the so-called burden of being a mom? This overwhelming empathy for Lindsay online from mothers who exclaim, same Lindsay, as they relate to the apparent feelings of desperation that Lindsay felt taking care of her kids is at the very least a reason for pause. Christian women should not see content like that and simply nod our heads knowingly and move along.
We have to be thoughtful in all things, but especially when it comes to the treatment of children. We should be thoughtful and we should ask what is the difference between healthy motherhood and unhealthy motherhood? Is this kind of content, this speech, this attitude honoring to the Lord? Is it nurturing to my kids?
