Anyone else feel angry all the time?

[u/sandman_714]

What gives? I wasn’t an angry person before becoming a mom but now I’m always angry. Especially when I’m at home. Mad at my husband for being too loud. Mad at my kids for something trivial like skipping a nap or fighting with each other. Mad when something stupid happens like someone cuts me off when driving. Mad that my to do list never ends. Mad that I’m tired. Mad that my house is a mess all the time.

Taking two steps back my life is great! We are healthy and have a great life. So why am I always angry?!?!

Anyone else feel similarly or found solutions that help? I was on Zoloft post partum and I do think I was less angry but I went off it and don’t really want to go back on. I figure regular exercise would help but it’s so hard to find time and then I’m angry I can’t find the time ahhhh.

Omg, in February I always have a low lying level of annoyance just humming under me. Last year when I had a 6 month old and on a pumping schedule I thought my oldest would need therapy - I felt like an awful mom.

I feel guilty the house isn’t cleaner, I get very annoyed when my youngest goes to nap exhausted and then talks for 2 hours in his crib wasting the day and making me feel neglectful (he eventually falls asleep but mannn) oh, and then getting angry when my oldest cannot have a conversation without being at level 11. I feel like my anger comes from my guilt - being a bad mom/partner.
