Don't know how much more I can take!

DS is 10 months old. He's always been a very clingy baby. Likes to be on the move doesn't like to be sat on your lap unless he feels like it.
He recently started crawling which has been great as he can go around to his hearts content.
This last week he has turned into a monster 5 out of 7 days. He will scream, cry, tantrum etc. He has 2 teeth cutting and I've presumed that it may be this that is causing discomfort. He has also in the last 2 weeks gone into his own room which has changed his routine slightly.
To be honest with you all I feel like I can't take it anymore. He sleeps very well at night only wakes once for a cuddle and goes straight back down but only naps maybe 20-30 mins in the whole day. So it's not that I'm tired but it's the constant wingefest and crying.
HV not interested and I understandably do not want to go to the GP nor do I feel that it is a physical issue as such as he has periods that he is a lovely happy, smiley, chatty little boy.
Can anyone offer any support or ideas. Does this sound like teething (he's only just cut his first tooth in the last month and as I said another 2 are coming). I'm lost, especially as it's not like we can have family to come and support us etc.
Thanks if you've got this far!!

Some babies are just like this I'm afraid. Dd1 was a very content baby, happy to sit and play, Potter about. DD2 can be a delight but has been tantruming since 10 months and it was a real shock to the system as dd1 has rarely tantrumed in her life. Teething does making it worse, as does tiredness but I think it's mainly just a mix of frustration at not being able to do exactly what they want /communicate how they want, and personality. Nothing a GP would help with anyway

Sorry in terms of coping strategies, having a vague routine helps

Long walk in the pushchair in the morning, snack and free play, lunch, nap, then more structured play, books (though she only likes to look at the pictures, gets angry if I try and read to her), dinner, bath, more free play and bed

It sounds like teething to me. Are you able to take him for a walk in the buggy each day to help break up the day a bit and give you both some fresh air and a change of scene? Something I used to do with my dd when she was younger was to put a collection of random baby safe objects in a box or something and let her play with them for a bit. Not just toys, but random household objects too. That used to keep her occupied for a little bit of time (I don't think you ever get more than a little bit of time unfortunately). Mine wasn't a napper either. If he'll take Calpol or something it might help with teething pain, and I used to put teething rings in the fridge so they were cold to try and help too.

Thanks both. He won't go in the pram at all. Never has done since 4 months old. We take him out in the baby sling when we can but it's been pissing it down with rain today so haven't had chance yet.

Sorry I know it was a rant just lost haha. As I was typing this he has just gone down for a nap 🙌🏻🙌🏻 at least I have a few mins to breath haha.
