Before I became a parent I used to be a fucking Zen master and never got stressed over anything. I guess I was a bit stressed at first over losing sleep etc. just like any other parent but my son is now almost three years old and it still hasn't passed. He sleeps well and there aren't a lot of other stressful parts of my life but I still feel that I lose my patience very quickly and I easily get agitated.
It makes me really sad because it feels like I'm not myself anymore and I sometimes let it go out over my surroundings and my son which gives me really bad conscience. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I yell at him or anything like that at all but stress and a bad mindset always spills over and goes out over other people.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar? I really miss my old self and hope to be able to become Zen personified some time again. Please excuse my shoddy English by the way.

You need a daily stress reliever. Something like a hobby.

Yeah, I guess so but I rarely _feel_ stressed.

i would suggest to find something to do. you know a hobby, something that take the stress and anxiety out of you.
What? Got no time? That cant be. One hour, thirty minutes, you must save time for yourself. you can even include your son sometimes, like going on fridays for a walk, or something, not only it may help your stress but also deep your bounds with your son, wich is pretty much important to do when they are still childs.
