  I'm not sure what it is maybe the stress of the holiday season, hormones, and just plain tired of people butting in.  I've had spells like that on and off and I know it's when I'm overtired, feeling unappreciated, stressed, and any combination of the three.  

  Can you get away for a few hours if you haven't done that in a while even if it's just to the bedroom with the door closed. I hope you feel better soon.

  Any chance you're pregnant again?  Is this a new thing?

  No def not pregnant. I guess I just feel underappreciated maybe. The lack of getting out.. Always inside, I don't know. I just feel like none of my family or friends take the time to actually LISTEN. And I guess I just feel like nobody takes the time to ask me how I'm doing. Its always about the baby. And I'm not meaning to sound selfish, I don't want any attention I just want people to seem interested. I guess I feel lonely and I feel like I've just become so protective over baby. I dontknow. Maybe its just one of those days.

  Only you can know what's going on, but it's pretty healthy for a mom to have alone time from baby.  And it's healthy for an 8 month old to be able to watched by someone else. Don't know your situation, but maybe there's a MOPS group that you can join.  Or your DH can watch your LO one night a week.

  And I wouldn't ask advice from anyone you don't want it from - I wouldn't even bring up baby issues if you don't want their opinion.  That keeps them from having an opening to give it.

  Lo is 8.5 mos. I'm just feeling so overwhelmed and sensitive. I feel like I could snap at a moments notice on anyone who rubs me the wrong way or has any parenting advice for me when I don't ask for it. What is this about? When I say snap, I mean I could burst out in tears or get very defensive or nasty. Today I was just so on edge about the stupidest things and take it out on hubby. I feel like a crappy person, that nobody understands. Are these just hormones ????????

  I totally understand. I feel the exact same way! I was just wondering the same thing, if it is hormone-related. I hate feeling this way!

  I started feeling this way about a month ago when my LO was 6 months.  I was so agitated and mad and just sad!  It lasted a long time so I decided to try some medicine.  I talked to my doctor and she said that it sounds like PPD.  I was surprised it could come on this late but she said it is normal.  I got on some medicine and have been a whole new person!  It is wonderful.  I don't know if that is what is going on with you but I thought I would share my experience.  I hope you can find happiness again soon!  I know how hard it can be!
