Is there anyway you can give yourself a break? Let DH take DS for a couple of hours on the weekend or go out after he's down for the night? Maybe take a long lunch during the day?
I don't know, but I need that, too. I actually felt like that a lot right before I had to put down my dog in February--overstressed because I was taking care of a toddler and an elderly dog and doing 2 jobs at work, and it was just too much and I couldn't be who I wanted to be. I was angry and stressed and taking it out on everyone.
I don't have any advice, because I'm still in that rut, but know you're not alone. I feel the weight of the world on me, and I'm hoping that like coal it turns me into diamonds (but I'm afraid the result may only be dust.)
I find that a small bit of exercise (like a short walk around the block) makes a huge difference in my mental well being. Bonus if I can do this alone and listen to a podcast that makes me happy. I come home re-charged. But also ok if it's just to the playground with DD.
Like @iheartmyshiba said, I like to make the to-do list public so that it's not all on me - H can see what the list is and work on it too.
I try to fake it until I make it. I like to find positive blogs or articles. I alsotry to talk to dh and get some extra me time too. It's hard, sometimes life sucks and it's hard to be a positive patty.

I wonder if the arrival of spring will help any.
I was feeling this way a lot recently until I just told Dh that I was feeling negatively toward him and I couldn't pinpoint why. It ended up being a really productive conversation that resulted in both of us changing habits to help each other out more. It also just felt great to let someone else in on my crazy.

Add me to the club of feeling this way sometimes. Then I start feeling bad for myself for no reason. I try to shift my attitude by reminding myself of all the great things in my life.
Getting snippy with DH has gotten out of hand lately and he is a saint for dealing with me sometimes. I'm thankful that he's (usually) very calm and clear headed and will call me out in a way that's no confrontational. We communicate pretty well so that helps. The times that he snaps back at me...those times are usually not as fun. It's a work in progress for sure!
