Getting through the pain & anger freakshow: WOuld love any tips/advice on working my way through this pain and anger. I am healthy and don't have any vices (ie drinking, smoking) I do like exercise but find it really hard with a baby. We do yoga but that only lasts for an hour. I need some good tips here? Anyone?
I am struggling!

Re: Getting through the pain & anger 2be: For me it was cycling but I know that is tough with a baby, unless he/she is big enough to be pulled behind your bike in a trailer. But honestly, just go for a walk. Breathe deeply... let the anger pass through you. It will come in waves and at first the waves are so close together it seems constant but they do slowly spread apart.
I'm now about 9 months out and I only get angry once every two weeks and it passes very quickly. I think it lessens when you just accept the outcome whether it was right or wrong, whether you were hurt or they were hurt... it helps with acceptance.
Re: Getting through the pain & anger fly: For me it was writing. I would write and still do almost every day. I journal, post blogs. I post here.
I have written letters and sent them. I have written letters and burned them. I have sat and listened to music and write it all down crying.
At frist I would do this for hours at my computer in the middle of the night. Put my headphones on and just sit and write until I had no more tears and anger left.
I would do it again the next day.

If you are a physical person but is slowed by the baby, go for a long walk, and take the stroller. The air will be good for the both of you, as well.
Plus i feel better out in the suns rays than being indoors where everything reminds me of her.
