Giving birth can be one of the craziest experiences that somebody ever deals with. We are all pretty aware of the gruesome physical effects it can have, but often less discussed is the toll that it can take on you mentally. The postpartum phase can be just as difficult as pregnancy for numerous reasons, and one of these is how it can affect your mental health.

This is something that one new mom was recently candid about on TikTok. Revealing how she suffered from bursts of anger, she showed how she threw ice in the bathroom to let out her negative feelings. The video caused some controversy, with not everybody understanding why she would choose to do such a thing. However, there were plenty of fellow moms willing to lend their support, too. At the end of the day, she was dealing with her feelings in a way that didn't harm anybody.
