I am so angry all the time. Like a coiled spring, I flip frequently and with not much coaxing.
Today, my parents babysat my two younger kids while I took out my older two. I have just spent a fortune on new winter clothes and shoes (and my rule is shoes are not for playing in, old shoes or wellies are). They took my kids to their house and when I collected them they had paint all over their new clothes (I'd put them in some nicer stuff because I thought they were just playing in my house), holes in tights, new shoes scraped like mad from playing outside. I just wanted to SCREAM. I couldn't talk propery, all I could think about was how MAD I was. I made my excuses and left with the kids as quickly as I could. It takes such a lot of effort and money to get all this stuff that I could cry seeing it all trashed.
I am like this a lot. I get angry at the drop of a hat. And I shout a lot. I'm so picky about stuff and I worry that I am harming my kids.
I have suffered PND before but I thought I was through it. Do you think I still have depression and its manifested itself in anger? What do you do about it? I didn't go to the doctor or use pills when I had PND. I was ashamed. I don't want to start now.
