8m sleep regression?

My baby is refusing to nap at all at the moment but is still sleeping at night well but I feel like I'm just waiting for that to all go wrong

It's starting to take a huge toll on my mental health and I feel really negative and like an enormous failure today

He is in a good routine and has been fine until he turned 8m and started trying to crawl - he is hideously grumpy and angry, won't have his nappy changed and will fling his bottle across the room in rage if I give him a chance to grab it.
He usually self settles really well but is totally refusing to do it now but also won't let me rock him or hold him, he'll just fling himself around like a possessed demon. He has white noise and a dark room and is usually really happy to go to sleep!

How do I survive this? I am one step away from opening the door to run and never come back

Don't have any good advice, sorry. But mine is a month older and seemed to go through a clingy and annoying phase last month, related to a developmental leap.
I haven't cracked naps yet, I have to lie down with him for him to get a good lunchtime/afternoon nap. I'm sure someone will suggest a sling too.
I'd say hang in there and you're not the only one who feels overwhelmed at times. I do too and I'm shattered.
