Angry all the time

Help!
I feel angry all the time. I am a new mom of a 3 month old boy. I love him dearly. I'm not angry at him but rather at my husband, his family, and everything that goes wrong during the day. I feel like a pressure cooker ready to explode. Is there anyone that is going through this or has gone through this? Is this normal? Any help is appreciated!

baby blues and post partum (sp) depression is something to concider also. Even though your baby is 3 months old, they say it can happen even a year later. If it dosnt get better I'd talk to someone. Hormones can make you feel just horible, and this is supposed to be a fun time, an experience to remember. So there is no need to have to be feeling this way. Help is out there. Dont feel embarresed about it, there are lots who do this. After having a baby your saritonen levels are low, and those low levels are what is causing the "blues or anger"
Hang in there, and know you are not alone. and know that help is out there. and it may be as close as wal-mart. Im not sure what is out there, but I know there is stuff, hope you get some good answeres.

I feel that most of the day too, but for slightly other reasons then yours.
I am alone 24/7 for 3 weeks at a time while my husband is away at work.
I have a 5 year old son and a 4 month old son and it gets frustrating doing it alone.
I like you am not angry at them, but at my home life and situation.
Cheer up and I am sure it will get better, just take his family with a grain of salt, cause they have their minds set on most everything, I am sure.
Men seem to just go through life and they have much less emotion than we do. The are not as deep as women. They also don't express how they feel. My husband didn't tell me for 9 months that he had been so freaked out when I left him home with the baby. He didn't know what to do with him--he said that he dreaded being alone with the baby because he cried. He really thought that I knew what our son needed. I didn't know but I figured it out. That book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" really is helpful in understanding your spouse.
But don't worry....it will get better you need to keep talking about it and you need to talk to your husband about it even if he doesn't understand, he needs to know that you are going through a hard time. Don't expect him to help you though--he might try but he probably can't. Talk to other moms I bet you will find that many of them went through the same thing.
