long story less long, I missed a week of 10mg Prozac. I’ve been on it for 7ish months and I am a 27F. I started taking my regular dose again, and I am having some awful side effects. I had a super depressed day, a super anxious day and now, day 3 and 4 back on schedule, I am so angry. I’m normally not an angry person but I’m so mad all the time and irritable. Has anyone experienced this? When should I look for things to get better?

in an attempt to get my 11 month old to stop waking up at the crack of dawn, we’ve cut his naps from 2, 1.5 hour naps to 2, 1 hour naps. it seems to be on the way to working or will at least get him thru til he can drop a nap. I know it’s been time to cut his day sleep but I’ve been dragging my feet honestly. I’m really struggling mentally with having even less time to myself now. Since he’s been waking up so early, I can’t ever time it right to wake up before him and have a cup of coffee by myself and pray. now with the shorter naps and early wake ups, I feel like I have 0 time to be a human being outside of being a mom. I try to be 100% locked in with him as much as I can so when he’s asleep I feel like I’m playing catch up on the house, my phone and everything else. Yes, I have night time but I’m so exhausted mentally and physically by the end of the day. I am very grateful that he naps well, I know some parents struggle to get any time during the day so I’m trying not to complain too much. It’s just a hard transition and this won’t last forever. Which makes me so emotional to think about him growing up and me being frustrated with this specific season. my son is my whole world and I’m so grateful to spend every day with him, but I just feel like I’m lacking my identity these days.
