Overstimulated

This afternoon I had a meltdown.
I don't know if the lack of sleep caught up with me,
but all of a sudden, everything started bugging me—especially Angus's dog hair.
It was especially noticeable on Minnie's clothes and bedding.
Then I started noticing it everywhere.  
When Christian got home from work, I told him I was feeling really
overwhelmed and overstimulated by everything, but I could pinpoint
the frustration with the dog hair
He was so good at talking me through it,
and we both decided to put Angus outside.  
The weather has been pleasant, and we have a 
wonderful screened-in porch where he can spend most of the day.  
I think this will help me feel better, at least until these feelings pass. 
 And I hope they do.
I haven't felt this way before.
I feel a little out of control, maybe a little anxious,
and easily annoyed.
Is this a postpartum thing?
