She won’t automatically be taken if you seek help, unless you actually hurt or neglect her. Please speak to a health care professional before this gets worse!
I need help
How do you control explosive anger?
I’m not safe for my infant daughter or husband.
Will she get taken if I seek therapy?
It’s really bad, I can’t control it and I started to break things. Glasses, bowls etc.
It’s not often, once or twice every few months, but any amount is too much.
She doesn’t deserve me like that.
I deserve to have her taken.
I deserve to be taken.
I don’t have anyone who can help take her overnight. Or for extended periods of the day.
She’s breastfeed and doesn’t like formula.
I don’t have enough milk for even a day saved up anyway.
I always have her .
I don’t know.
She needs me but what if I can’t get better?

Unless you physically hurt her, seeking help for yourself will not get her taken from you (depending on your state it might mean a wellness check, but dont fear it). You need to seek medical help and ask about medication to help level out whatever imbalance you might have going on. There is absolutely no shame in needing help and its absolutely wonderful you are recognizing you need it.

I'd also suggest making note of what triggers these outbursts. Days of the week/month when it happens, what occurred directly before the anger, foods eaten that day, etc. It can help the professionals figure out if its hormonal, environmental, etc.
I was in the hospital for two months with postpartum depression. Had to have have 12 rounds of ECT (shock treatments). You will not get your child taken away from you. Not seeking help on the other hand and end up doing something stupid, even if it was due to postpartum depression, that is a good way to get your child taken away and child protective services on your ass. Seeking help for yourself no, you will not get your child taken away from you.
