IMHO, you may be filling isolated and need to connect with another adult (either someone here or a trusted friend). Do you have a nearby park that you can walk to, somewhere the kids can run and scream? Isolation gets to me faster than anything else.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope that things improve for you.
I feel that I need to clarify my post. My bad days, once in a while, do not include getting to the point where I fear that I will harm a child. But when I feel myself getting snappish, I know it's time for a movie and popcorn or an outing.
