Post partum rage? Or am I just crazy?

I don't even know where to start. I feel like I'm on a hair trigger all the time. My husband and I are at each other's throats all the time. He has his own shit going on while I'm looking after baby and toddler and keeping the house together. The baby (7mo) is great but his sleep the last few weeks has gone to shit and it's not helping. I'm just so angry. I was angry at the baby at 4am and shouted at him which didn't help. I felt like I wanted to just dig my fingernails into him. The rage is in my hands. My husband and I fought yesterday, poor communication, I banged my head against the door in rage. Tonight we fought again and I punched the wall, then threw some toys. This is not me. I'm a happy person, except when I'm so angry I can't even think. He laughed at me and I saw red. I need help, what can I do?

This probably won't touch the sides but give it a try;

OP you need to get an emergency appointment with your GP tomorrow. It could absolutely be PND, lack of sleep and stress. tell yourself you are going to get help in the morning. If baby wakes up tonight and you feel your self losing it - walk out of the house.

The laughing at you whilst you were in this state is bad. I have felt this frustration and honestly hand on heart I would leave anybody that did this to me again as they make a bad situation really bad.

you are not well OP and it sounds like he is making you a lot worse Flowers
