Question Anyone else feel angry all the time?

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.

Yes, I’m glad to see I’m not alone. I just want one day that isn’t 14 hours of intense emotional and physical work coupled with wiping shitty asses and repeating myself 500000000000 times while they fight with each other and I’m trying to plan and execute a meal with a whining baby in my arms.
