I don't know what it would be like with a baby. But with living with wifes and gfs, the one thing I always tried to maintain was music time to myself. Whether lying on the floor with headphones, or at the bass of the speakers blasting music, or dancing by myself at home or to my favorite live bands ("Sweat, Sweat, Sweat, Sweat"), it was always one of my favorite drug. I let that slip somewhat when moving to a new state, purged some stuff, don't have the same digs, and now I have to be more quiet. My one advice, don't stop the music! And please no one post the Bay City Roller's version of that statement!

If it's stress and anger, have you tried meditation? I don't have books to peddle, but meditation is pretty helpful working out the causes of stress. I think exercise is a physical outlet but doesn't entirely solve the mental parts of it. Does feel good to hit a punching bag from time to time.
No matter what dark periods I experience, I myself take satisfaction more being a "Socrates dissatified". Therefore I know I gotta accept some glumness with that. (Though not too much where it makes you unproductive) All in all, pain and stress and being able to think critically on it is still something uniquely human. I can't even imagine life being a willingly ignorant "pig".
