Horrendous anger coming off mirtrazapine

Hi, I am currently nearly 2 weeks into coming off mirtazapine ( reduced from 30mg to 15mg then did every other day for few days & haven’t had any for 2 weeks). My anger is unreal. I get really frustrated by my daughter & have really shouted & sworn at her. I grab at her too. I didn’t Know whether it’s worse because i’m coming off but when I was angry before I was blaming the mirt & perhaps it is me. I am suffering from anxiety & depression, currently off work & feeling very low & a failure in all respects. I absolutely hate that this is the mother I am now. I feel like I am messing her up, she is only 3 & I have a 1 year old ( 18 mth too). I loved my children so much & always did do much with them. I am now really screwed up about leaving the house, packing a bag & I don’t sleep well. My DH keeps saying just control yourself but I am getting upset & angry in front of them. I fear it’s a type of abuse. I hate myself & have no energy to look after them & to keep them entertained. We go out for the morning & then it’s more entertaining & constant feeding. I’m just not enjoying it at the moment & feel like I can’t look after them on my own. She’s happy watching CBeebies but it can’t be that all the time. I used to be so happy before all of this & am carrying a lot of anger & resentment about it. I worry i’ve Totally cracked up. Can anyone help?
