Why do I feel so angry

I have a 4 month old and would usually describe myself as easy going but lately I seem to get really angry when things don't go right.
If I am wronged by someone I can't seem to let it go and feel indignant and furious.
I feel all this in my head so haven't been behaving any differently outwardly, I'm quite the people pleaser in the surface but it's as if I can't be bothered with something if it doesn't go to plan or go right first time.
I hate feeling this way and it's not usually me but it's as if anyone is rude to me or I miss out on something or feel any sense of injustice towards myself I just can't let it go and will ruminate for days.
Baby sleeps really well so I'm not tired just constantly angry and instead of moving on from things I'm letting more things just top my existing anger up.

I would bet you are out of your usual routine, probably bored, understimulated, a bit out of control, feeling like you lack purpose, trying to work it all out when you haven’t done this before…

Oops baby swiped hand on phone and pressed post.

2 minutes after writing this, I'm singing row row the boat and laughing.
But as soon as something happens it will be back.

Go easy on yourself. A new baby is a huge disruption, physically and mentally. There are still loads of hormones coursing through your body, causing upset and alarm. Look up "postpartum rage" when you get a chance. I was a demon after DD was born. But I'm pretty normal now!

Probably a lot to do with sleep deprivation…there’s a reason it’s used as a torture technique!
