If family and friends are getting your ire up, it may be a sign that you are feeling overwhelmed and undersupported. Take a look at what's really getting to you. Sit down and tell your partner what you're feeling and work out some strategies for easing the burden together. It may help to write down what you are having difficulty dealing with, then work with your partner to create a solution.

Step back and take stock. Are you making work, and stress, for yourself through self-imposed deadlines? Look at your to-do list in terms of small tasks rather than an all-or-nothing prospect. Prioritize what's there and dare to cross off a few things that just aren't that important right now.
