Can you experience post partum depression (specifically on the rage side) 5 months after giving birth?

I had my baby boy 6 months ago, and things were going great for a while. Now... things are not so great. Every small inconvenience makes me SO angry. When I'm alone, I scream and cry. I've also hurt myself by punching my legs, arms and face when I'm alone, I don't let people see that side of me because I know they would send me to the mental hospital. My son doesn't make me angry, I love him so much. Probably more than everyone in my life right now... especially more than myself. My husband knows something is up because I haven't been nice to him at all, and I have been really irrational when it comes to him and the help he gives me. He works extremely long hours in the HVAC industry, but even though i know he provides for us and still helps me with the baby... in the moment everything he does with the baby scares me like im scared he will accidentally hurt him (deep down I know he wont) or hes just doing it wrong. I dont want to be like this but in the moment the anger just jumps out!!!

I used to be cool, funny and pretty. What happened to me? Who is this monster?
