Hi shelli,

I have a 10 month old son and I know exactly how you are feeling. I felt the same few weeks after my son was born. I loved him to be bits but I felt constantly anxious and felt i could burst into tears at any point. I was constantly nipping at my husbandfor no reason. I felt alone and very tired no enthusiasm to do anything I did not feel myself and did not know what was happening to me. I kept thinking why am I not Happy and I felt so guilty. I had a really bad labour experience and wasn't too well afterwards I felt this was the reason. It was a horrible, I just want to tell you it does get better and easier. I got up one morning and just thought I had to get myself together before it got worse, i started to plan things to do made an effort to get ready and get out. It makes it so much easier to talk to someone I was lucky I had a friend who previously suffered and I was able to talk to her. I found that each day it did get better and I started to felel myself it did take time though. If you ever needs someone to talk to welcome to talk to me.

U may just be suffering from lack of sleep; this combined with stress will try anyone's temper.
