Yes it's normal and, don't worry, it'll pass... I remember feeling the same way like "I'm being really nasty to everyone I love" and I also didn't have enough giveash*t to care. Don't worry, It'll pass.
Here's something from whyquit.com, maybe it will help.
Anger apparently peaks for the average quitter at about 48 hours (day 2) and within 72 hours is beginning to return to almost pre-cessation levels. Nicotine amazingly had taken command of the mind's adrenaline circuitry and when taking back control anger and fear (fight or flight) are our means of releasing adrenaline. It isn't unusual to find yourself intentionally attempting to induce releases by promoting conflict or feeling fearful about permanently altering your mind's sense of normal from "nicotine normal" back to "you!"
I had an anger issue too but I soon got over it, I hope you will too.
