    I would try to analyze WHAT is making you mad at/about your husband. If you're able to pinpoint things and write them down, you could look at the list and see if you have legitimate complaints. If you do, then you should address them with him.

    If they're 'silly,' then the frustration and annoyance could be a sign of PPD. But, they could be a sign of stress.

    I would try taking some time to yourself when YH is home and can watch the baby - take a long bath, read a trashy magazine, watch The Kardashians (or is that just me? LOL).

    Also, it's completely normal to need to walk away. By doing that, you're showing that you're in control of yourself to need a moment. That's awesome. :-)

    You should also mention it to your doctor. Good luck! :-)
