If you are newly diagnosed then you are possibly going through the motions of grief. I contacted the MS Society and asked for help. They phoned me and we had a chat about my issues and they decided to refer me for 6 counselling sessions. It has really helped me maybe you should try that. I did get angry at the slightest thing a lot. Not saying I'm cured of the anger but I was given coping strategies. The MS Society also run webinars for a variety of things. Their 'newly diagnosed ' one is great.

The fatigue and cog fog slow your thinking processes and your reaction times it literally makes it harder to think and keep up with what’s going on so you can get frustrated and overwhelmed more easily not you doing it on purpose it’s a biological preset reaction we just have to learn to manage it these helped me maybe they might help you but they take practice I’m not gonna lie and try to explain it to your wife like pmt you can’t help it it’s your body and a biological thing your not being moody for moody’s sake https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NHZkQ57wzE https://www.getselfhelp.co.uk/docs/STOPP5.pdf Good luck mate and take care
