Anyone else feel bipolar?

I've always been a easy going person but recently I've become a bipolar monster!

I really enjoy taking care of LO and love her to death. I'm just way over whelmed and tired and DH doesn't understand because he isn't home like I am. I sleep a total of like 4 hours and he sleeps 8. I do pretty much all the feedings because I mainly BF and pump for him to feed her twice a day.  We live 16 hours away from the nearest friend or family so I get no help.

I'm nice with him and am having a good time until he doesn't help me with something or says the wrong thing. I hit the roof! I go crazy, am angry, then sad, then I cry and then I want to be left alone and feel like running away! After a little time alone I'm better and back into my normal happy mood. 

I also have no patience with people that call me and want to talk to me... I just don't want to be on the phone at times. Which they get pissy because they want to talk to me about LO.  

Do you think it's stress related? Lack of sleep? Could it turn into depression? 

Anyone else feel a little crazy?

    this was me. i didn't do anything about it until baby t was almost 7 months old. i just thought it would go away, something related to my hormones getting 're-aligned' after giving birth, etc. then once it started affecting my marriage, i knew i needed help. dh & i sat down and he was accepting to my apology for being a total b*!# and was supportive of me seeking help from an outside source [other than parent, spouse, immediate family, friend, etc.] to make a long story short i now take a low dose of anti-anxiety meds daily. they have seemed to help my overal morale even though i still have my moments of frustration. it's nowhere NEAR what it used to be!

    I am so irritable lately too. I had LO in my Moby at Target the other day and some lady was pushing a sqweeky cart down the isle and I totally snapped at her. I said, "lady! that cart is obnoxious! My baby just fell asleep! Have some consideration!!:

    I probably shouldn't be allowed in public until I LO is STTN

    Oh yes. I was a hot, sloppy mess. I am on Prozac now and doing great. I'm not 100% back to myself yet but I feel human again and Im not hiding like I had been.
