What is wrong with me

[Thisisstrange1]

Just woke up for another day and thought to myself I can't wait to go back to bed again tonight. I feel tired even though I've had 8 hours sleep. I've turned into an angry person and I'm flipping over small things.

But I don't know why. I have a lovely partner, 5yo and baby. Things are better than they have ever been so why do I feel like this? I wondered if I might have postnatal depression but I don't have any untoward feelings with the baby and I'm not anxious about him. Everything I've read about PND says this is a symptom.

I just don't know what I can do to stop feeling so sad, angry and disengaged when I have no reason to be anyway

Sad, angry, disengaged, tired - all symptoms of depression.

However. You're identifying the tiredness as the first problem that comes to mind, and that could very well be a physical issue, so it could be (just for example) iron deficiency -> long term tiredness -> low mood.

I would start with going to the GP and getting a physical cause for the tiredness ruled out.
