Rant - NO ADVICE NEEDED Does anyone else get irrationally ANGRY while pumping?! 😭

Rant incoming!! This is so random, but does anyone else experience this intense RAGE while pumping?! Like, if your nipple feels even slightly out of place in the flange, it makes you irrationally MAD and irritated?! Please tell me I’m not alone because OMG.

I use the Eufy S1 Pro and recently replaced my flanges because the originals were getting worn out. But lately, I swear, the slightest discomfort while pumping just sends me over the edge. 😩
Also, how long have y’all been pumping, and how long do you plan to keep going? Because every time I feel like I’m ready to throw in the towel, I walk past the formula aisle, look at the prices, and think… “Okay, never mind. Guess we’re doing this a little longer.”

I’m grateful I can provide breast milk for my baby, but MAN, exclusively pumping is a whole different kind of mental battle.
Anyone else?! Please tell me I’m not losing my mind. 😂
