I need help

Ever since I had DD I have been a *** to DH. I was never like that before and I hate that I'm like that now. The smallest thing will set me off for days. I feel like DH has to tiptoe around me. A lot of the problem is that I resent him for not helping out around the house more but I'm worried that its more than just that. Its to the point that I don't enjoy anything any more. I dread going home from work and I'm unhappy all the time. I guess I'm just wondering where do I go for help? I'm just at a complete loss for where to turn but I know if I don't get help our relationship won't survive.

    I know this might seem elementary, but have you talked to your DH about how you're feeling.  Perhaps he could make some changes that might make things easier for you and your resentment could diminish.

    If things don't get better, I would suggest talking to someone about this.  PPD can manifest itself in anger toward any LO...doesn't have to be your baby.

    You want to make your relationship survive and not just that...you want it to thrive.  So, take steps to make things better.

    I would suggest counseling, maybe marriage counseling. If u and dh can come to some compromising and figure out how he can help more so u dont resent him. I was resentful to dh and then told him specifically what I wanted him to do and he pitched in more which lessened my resentment.
